Package: autopkgtest
Version: 5.15
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

When target architecture is armhf, autopkgtest-build-qemu installs
linux-image-armmp. It should install linux-image-armmp-lpae.

The reason is that, when --ram-size 5120 is given to autopkgtest,
linux-image-armmp can recognize only 3 GB, while
linux-image armmp-lpae can recognize 5 GB,
enabling larger buffer cache.
