Yes, images can be built now, but without ifupdown their network interface is left unconfigured, and thus autopkgtests can't download packages.
Somewhere in the back of my mind I was fearing this.
So ifupdown seems to be needed, and this poses an interesting problem with at least the following possible solutions: (1) Enable universe in autopkgtest-build-qemu after all, as in [1]
Ack.
(2) Modify setup-commands/setup-testbed and generally move ifupdown
installation there. This would require re-ordering stuff, as
interface configuration is currently performed *before* APT
configuration, when in needs to be after (otherwise ifupdown can't
be downloaded from universe).
I'm against this route. I think we should require images to have networking to not grow the setup script even more than needed. Networking is nothing special, it should just be there.
