Okay, here are the facts:

* we have automation running auto-upgrade-testing daily on many images (server, 
desktop, flavors)
* we run many different upgrade paths: (n->o, o->p, f->j->n, x->b->f->j->n, 
etc...)
* this automation is running on Jammy, and is based on the `autopkgtest` 
command, provided by the package in the archive
* until recently it was working with version 5.38ubuntu1~22.04.1
* autopkgtest got SRU'd to version 5.47~22.04.1, and that broke the automation 
in the following way:
  * the testbed got into a state where it needs a restart before being able to 
correctly run `do-release-upgrade` (kernel upgrade or else)
  * I don't exactly know what changed to now reach that state, and what made it 
work before. Probably something around the testbed preparation in `autopkgtest` 
itself.
  * that make sense and is perfectly fine regarding upgrade testing, it's 
actually a shortcoming of the auto-upgrade-testing code, which got fixed in the 
following PR: https://github.com/canonical/auto-upgrade-testing/pull/18
* things are now back in order and working, so that regression actually allowed 
to improve on upgrade testing. It's just unfortunate that it caught us by 
surprise.
