just a quick status update: it seems to be impossible right now to have tests
of this kind run on our CI. We don't have user namespaces, cannot mount, cannot
do kpartx and using guestfish fails for an unknown reason which leads to the
resulting disk image being corrupted. Fixing the guestfish bug is tricky
because the error only occurs on Debian CI and not locally, so I prepared
another autopkgtest for libguestfs-tools only to see that libguestfs-tools
cannot even be built on salsa CI because the artifacts are too large:

https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/support/issues/175

Since I cannot test on ci.debian.net myself, I filed a bug with patch to
src:libguestfs and we will see whether that works or not:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=944729

Since all kinds of other operations are not permitted on salsa CI, using
libguestfs is as far as I know the only way to create a dropbear-initramfs test
which creates the disk image by itself instead of downloading it from
elsewhere. This I'm blocking this bug by the libguestfs bug. If we can make the
latter work, then I can continue working on this one.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
