Using "pbuilder" I've set up a minimal chroot for Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic as
of today. Inside that chroot, I installed autopkgtest, pkg-perl-
autopkgtest and ack (version 2.18+dfsg-1, 2.19.01-1 doesn't seem to be
on my mirror yet) from bionic-proposed and ran "autopkgtest ./ -- null"
inside the unpacked source package.

"Unfortunately" all tests passed successfully. So I can't really
reproduce the issue that causes the autopkgtest failures which keep ack
out of Ubuntu for quite some months now.

And since ack passes all tests on Debian's autopkgtest infrastructure, I
more and more come to the conclusion that this issue isn't with ack but
with the way Ubuntu's autopkgtest infrastructure runs the tests.
