> The control file does not specify "no-build-needed", so autopkgtest
needs to build the package first

This was wrong. According to /usr/share/doc/autopkgtest/README.package-
tests.gz it's the other way around: A control file needs to specify
"build-needed" explicitly if it needs to be built for running the tests.
So if Ubiquity's tests need a built tree, it would need to specify it.

The actual bug here is comment 4: adt-run does not expand "Depends: @"
if the tree does not get built. With --no-built-binaries this does not
happen. I'll report this as a bug in Debian and add some more details
there.
