debvm-create --include=incus

debvm-run

Turns out your minimal expert install is not so minimal. debvm tends to
give you a smaller but still functional installation. I think adding
--variant=important to debvm-create roughly gets you the minimal expert
installation, but creating the machine takes slightly longer and uses
more disk space of course.

Rather than adding debvm on top of your testing, I think adding
autopkgtests with isolation-machine should get you more automatic
coverage. Possibly such tests need to be explicitly allowed by debci
folks and currently are only available on amd64.
