I've investigated this further, and the Debian bug report as originally
scoped isn't helpful for resolving the Ubuntu problem, because we can't
use the kvm backend either for autopkgtests.

My current suggestion, on the Debian bug report, is:
- ask for an additional autopkgtest in Debian that runs with debos
  --disable-fakemachine (instead of replacing the current autopkgtest)
- introduce an Ubuntu delta that drops the autopkgtest which depends on
  fakemachine
- optionally, patch debos in Ubuntu to use --disable-fakemachine by default

But the alternative approach would be to remove and blacklist this
package from Ubuntu.
