autopkgtest script adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud does not support ppc64el platform,
causing the following 'crash':
WARNING: python-distro-info not installed, falling back to determining
default release from currently installed release
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud", line 336, in <module>

File "/usr/bin/adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud", line 106, in parse_args
default=qemu_default_cmds[default_arch],
KeyError: 'ppc64el'
I just created a patch that seems to solve the problem.
