I ran into this just now with autopkgtest 5.5 (inside LXC, or schroot)
when the host system is using either 4.4 or 5.4.1~bpo9+2.
autopkgtest [07:45:34]: test command1: dh_elpa_test --autopkgtest

su: user does not exist

Will this be solved if 5.5 is backported? As a consequence, does this
also mean all stretch systems with sid autopkgtest chroots must switch
to using backported autopkgtests?
Cheers,
