missing mysql-testsuite metapackage

Attempting to run the mysql testsuite fails, with a message claiming that the InnoDB engine is unknown/unsupported.

Steps to reproduce:

setup:
1) apt-get install mysql-testsuite mysql-server
2) sudo mkdir /var/lib/mysql/testsuite/
3) sudo chown $USER.$USER /var/lib/mysql/testsuite/
4) mkdir /var/lib/mysql/testsuite/{var,tmp}
5) cd /usr/lib/mysql-testsuite

running the testsuite
6) ./mysql-test-run.pl --force --vardir=/var/tmp/mysql/testsuite/var/ --tmpdir=/var/tmp/mysql/testsuite/tmp --comment=normal --timer --skip-ndbcluster --report-features

This fails with output like:

======
120319 13:27:18 [ERROR] An old style --language value with language specific part detected: /usr/share/mysql/english/
120319 13:27:18 [ERROR] Use --lc-messages-dir without language specific part instead.
120319 13:27:18 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.
MySQL Version 5.5.20

It seems that the mysql-testsuite is trying to enable the InnoDB engine and failing; according to upstream documentation, the InnoDB engine is the default engine in mysql-5.5, so perhaps the testsuite has not been updated to take this into account?
