We already examples in Lintian::Tutorial::TestSuite
(doc/tutorial/Lintian/Tutorial/TestSuite.pod). However, I suspect they
have not been updated to reflect the "recent" changes to the test suite
and its runner. I guess Lintian::Tutorial::WritingTests is equally out
of date.
Note: I am fine with removing those POD documents if we now prefer to
keep this documentation elsewhere. However, if they remain, they should
be updated to reflect the reality.
Thanks,
