While investigating an apparent regression in the libguestfs autopkgtest in stable for the linux kernel package targeting the point release next week, we discovered that the autopkgtest is bootstrapping bullseye and testing that. I don't think that's something an autopkgtest should do. In my view, ideally the test should be testing the suite as defined by the apt sources (i.e. use pieces from different suites if the configuration has been setup like that, like we do during migration testing). In this case we'd wanted to see if the new linux kernel had an issue, but it turned out the test wasn't testing that at all.
It seems like the test is flaky in stable the last couple of days, the test failed 5 times out of 12 times.
