autopkgtest-build-podman's failure is due to the issue reported in [1], i.e.
the Debian setup of podman requires `dbus-user-session`, but none of the

Indeed this is not a `podman` issue, but a `autopkgtest-build-podman` one.
To rephrase it: autopkgtest-build-podman does not work without
dbus-user-session. Why doesn't the package that contains
autopkgtest-build-podman Depends: on dbus-user-session?
The answer is (I presume) that the package containing
autopkgtest-build-podman (autopkgtest) is a bit too generic to have an
hard Depend on dbus-user-session. This is why I was suggesting splitting
it into a separate package.
If there is consensus, I volunteer to create a MR to move
autopkgtest-build-podman and related files to a separate package that
can then Depends: on podman, dbus-user-session and all other packages
required to make it work out of the box.
