Your package postinst needs to be able to be run offline.

You might want to cook a python snip to automate it.

My first thought was to just ignore them, but one could also argue that a "SKIP: no package test" message would be more informative than no message at all, since it separate the package from yet-to-be-processed ones. Opinions?

I agree an informative message would be good to have; maybe it could
be print only when have a verbose or debug option?
