** Description changed:
[Impact]
APT 2.2.4 and newer, in hirsute-proposed, apply phasing to non-installed
packages as well, to fix bug 1925745. This causes autopkgtest to no longer
retrieve source packages (apt-get source still works fine), and hence the tests
to fail - example:
https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-
hirsute/hirsute/amd64/u/ubuntu-advantage-
tools/20210618_132205_96afa@/log.gz
We need to change setup-testbed to set APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-
Updates to true, as we did on the infrastructure and merged upstream in
https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/-/merge_requests/125
+
+ We set this unconditionally, it's a no-op for older releases.
[Test plan]
Correctness of the APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-Updates feature is checked
by the APT test suite. We only need to validate that the correct line is being
written to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90always-include-phased-updates.
Run autopkgtest-build-lxd or autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud to create
a new hirsute image and check that the file sets the option.
[Where problems could occur]
Syntax could be wrong, and hence building images could fail.
Semantics should arguably be more correct, as Always-Include-Phased-
Updates is the legacy apt behavior against which autopkgtest was
developed.
