Looking at
<https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/testing/amd64/l/linux/225215/log.gz>.

I see the result:

    selftests            SKIP Test requires machine-level isolation but testbed does not provide that
    autopkgtest [00:39:46]: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ summary
    selftests            SKIP Test requires machine-level isolation but testbed does not provide that

It would be really good if you could implement machine isolation, but I
understand that it may not be a high priority when so few packages need
it.

However, this appears to be treated as a pass, for testing propagation
purposes.  That's really not right - if a package's tests can't be run,
I think this should be treated the same as a package missing tests.

Ben.
