The ingredients required to hit this bug are:
1. an all-proposed build (--apt-pocket=proposed with no package pinning)
2. multiple tests defined in d/t/control
3. the tests do not allow reusing the same testbed system
Condition 1. means that we don't hit the bug in tests runs triggered
by britney, as those are not all-proposed.

Title:
autopkgtest: Specifying --apt-pocket causes wrong unwanted pinning to
default release
Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in autopkgtest package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/1032314:
Package: autopkgtest
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: par...@debian.org
Adding a pocket via --apt-pocket=<POCKET> causes the
_get_default_release() function to be called. This is needed to
construct the sources.list entry for the pocket, which will be in the
form of:
deb <mirror> <default_release>-<POCKET> ...
The _get_default_release() function caches the detected default
release in the default_release variable, which is the same variable
used to store the --apt-default-release=<RELEASE> value. This has
no effect when only one test is present in d/t/control, but when
more than one test is present the tests after the first will have
unwanted/wrong pinning (as if --apt-default-release was specified).
