This part is a vmdb2 bug and is tracked separately, as #951766.
If debci continues to use vmdb2 (directly or via autopkgtest-build-qemu,
I don't know which one it does), then debci will be unable to support
creating Ubuntu images until vmdb2 does.
autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud, which downloads an official Ubuntu
cloud image and modifies it in-place, might be a better way to get
autopkgtest images to run Ubuntu on qemu (it also doesn't need root if run
by someone with access to /dev/kvm, because it does all its privileged
stuff by booting the image in a temporary qemu instance, which might be
helpful). Doing the equivalent with Debian's official cloud images as a
base is on my list, but it is not a short list, so it's anyone's guess
when/whether I'll get there.
