In addition to bug #953145, the new version of vrms has also regressed
autopkgtests on non-x86 in Ubuntu because a newly-added test has
dependencies on x86-only packages.

In addition, on x86 the tests depend on certain packages which might already
be installed in a testbed, and then removes these packages, which could
break the testbed, by removing packages that may be required for critical
microcode updates on the host cpu.  Therefore the test should also be marked
as 'breaks-testbed'.

I have uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu, and vrms autopkgtests pass
again on all architectures.  Please consider applying in Debian as well.

Thanks,
