There are better ways to discover which packages provide tests:

I'm not going to pollute my .dsc with this metadata.

FWIW -- possibly more convenient user-land construct might be

  apt-file search -a source 'debian/tests/control'

But there is somewhat a problem with all the grepping approaches is when
dealing with multiple APT repositories. Source header field  indeed could
have helped to locate the packages with tests regardless of their origin.

> I'm not going to pollute my .dsc with this metadata.

my 0.1 cent: IMHO immediate use for "Testsuite:" would become more
adequate if multiple formal ways to run testsuites becomes available.

But either should it be added manually ATM -- as DEP-8 suggests, that field
might be added automagically in the future by dpkg-source... it might be the
cleanest long-term solution.

Also:

1) No matter how precise, grepping for debian/tests/control is a
   heuristic. One can, say, have a test called "control" for a testing
   framework entirely unrelated to autopkgtest. Given that that
   interface is not in Policy (yet) it'd be better to declare explicitly
   that the package is using autopkgtest instead of relying on
   heuristics.

2) Packages/Sources is a pretty popular interface to find package
   metdata, there are several pieces of the Debian infrastructure out
   there that happily live on those alone. Now, if they want to process
   the information "does this package have a autopkgtest suite?",
   forcing them to also acquire Contents seem unneeded, considering
   Packages/Sources is a well-established interface already.
