Package: autopkgtest
Version: 6.0
Severity: important

The --shell and --shell-fail options used to provide a useful 
interactive shell with the Incus virtualization server.  Since 
autopkgtest 6.0, they no longer do.  For example, `autopkgtest --shell 
hello -- incus autopkgtest/debian/sid/amd64` gives me:

  autopkgtest [16:21:50]:  - - - - - - - - - - running shell - - - - - - - - - -
  bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
  bash: no job control in this shell

This is very difficult to work with: for example, neither command-line 
editing nor full-screen editors work.

Reverting 
https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/-/commit/509db28362e7d4e8dd64e4ff1842ad82bd04ebea
 
fixes the problem.

Thanks,
