Bug#1120436: libguestfs: autopkgtest relies on oldoldstable (bullseye)

Source: libguestfs
Version: 1:1.54.1-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: carnil@debian.org

While investigating an apparent regression in the libguestfs autopkgtest 
in stable for the linux kernel package targeting the point release next 
week, we discovered that the autopkgtest is bootstrapping bullseye and 
testing that. I don't think that's something an autopkgtest should do. 
In my view, ideally the test should be testing the suite as defined by 
the apt sources (i.e. use pieces from different suites if the 
configuration has been setup like that, like we do during migration 
testing). In this case we'd wanted to see if the new linux kernel had an 
issue, but it turned out the test wasn't testing that at all.

It seems like the test is flaky in stable the last couple of days, the 
test failed 5 times out of 12 times.
