I plan on implementing the following when releasing a new version: 1) modify the build-chroot autopkgtest to use --disable-fakemachine in the debos call and remove the additional dependencies (e.g. just running on the host, this will need Restrictions: needs-sudo) 2) add an additional autopkgtest, build-chroot-uml to build a chroot using the uml backend, but with Restrictions: skip-not-installable so to not fail if user-mode-linux is not available in downstreams? Would this be suitable or do you have other suggestions which would allow downstreams to test debos without downstream patches :-) Thanks! Chris
