In confirm that running $(autopkgtest -B -d --shell . -- null) in an unbuild tree gets me this:
paul@toba /tmp $ diff -r autopkgtest.output.dva1_zh9/tests-tree autopkgtest.9IxRhQ/ubtree-./ paul@toba /tmp $ diff -r autopkgtest.output.dva1_zh9/tests-tree autopkgtest.9IxRhQ/build.nnc/real-tree/
The logic in runner/autopkgtest for build trees makes one copy less before running dpkg-source. From the documentation in the code (lacking in this regard) it's unclear why the ubtree (copy in the testbed) is kept around and not e.g. $(mv)-ed and used for the real-tree. I'm assuming that the code is as it is because the code to create the build dir is the same for all build kinds and the path is not known yet when the copydown happens.
The tests-tree is the copy from the testbed to the host, potentially after building binaries. I didn't check but I think this copy is made to pass it to clean testbeds after testbed resets. It's indeed a bit much for the null backend, but the result of common code.
