dkg pointed me at bug #901847 etc., so there's no need to answer this.

linux wrongly treated as passing autopkgtests

[Ben Hutchings]

Looking at
.

I see the result:

selftestsSKIP Test requires machine-level isolation but testbed 
does not provide that
autopkgtest [00:39:46]:  summary
selftestsSKIP Test requires machine-level isolation but testbed 
does not provide that

It would be really good if you could implement machine isolation, but I
understand that it may not be a high priority when so few packages need
it.

However, this appears to be treated as a pass, for testing propagation
purposes.  That's really not right - if a package's tests can't be run,
I think this should be treated the same as a package missing tests.
