** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * The test overall success rate degraded over time. This happened 
+    unrelated to a libvirt upload and affects AFAICS all Ubuntu releases.
+    The assumption is that some underlying changes to the LP-test-
+    infrastructure cause this.
+    It is hard to debug and so far unreproducible outside of the test 
+    infrastructure.
+ 
+  * Recently seen flaky issues
+    a) namespace not ready after start
+     + virsh lxc-enter-namespace --noseclabel sl /bin/ls /bin/ls
+     error: Requested operation is not valid: Init pid is not yet available
+ 
+    b) service fails to restart due to dependencies
+     A dependency job for libvirtd.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe'
+     for details.
+ 
+  * It only affects a subtest that is error prone (we already have Delta to 
+    make it work at all) and not really important to us (=Ubuntu). It is 
+    for the context of libvirt-lxc which is universe-only and unwanted as 
+    LXD can do the same and more but better.
+    Due to that these test fails are a pain without much gain and shall be 
+    converted into skippable tests. That way we retain some coverage, get a 
+    long term info how often things will skip/work and eliminate the "retry 
+    until success pain"
+ 
+  * The known flakyness issues are converted into test-skips. Other fails 
+    in that test will still break it.
+ 
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Autopkgtest runs should no more stumble over the known flaky issues as 
+    reported above.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+  * The problems would occur in autopkgtest and in particular in the 
+    subtest named smoke-lxc as that is the only test our changes affect.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * We want to hold all these in -proposed with the block-proposed tag
+    This is due to - the change on it's own - being not SRU worth to 
+    trigger downloads all around the world.
+    But this way it can:
+      a) be used in custom autopkgtest triggers if needed
+      b) more likely is picked up on the next upload
+

  autopkgtest [12:19:48]: test smoke-lxc: [-----------------------
  A dependency job for libvirtd.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for 
details.
  autopkgtest [12:19:48]: test smoke-lxc: -----------------------]
  smoke-lxc            FAIL non-zero exit status 1

  The test passes for me in a local qemu VM.
