Please could someone who works on Debian (E)LTS or Ubuntu ESM show their
appreciation by contributing a MR to make this test work again? :-)
As I said, if we don't have test coverage for extremely old testbeds, then
aiming to be able to test them is just an aim, and we can't be sure whether
it actually works.
I am not intending to work on this myself (I don't use suites this old and
am not paid to maintain them).
FTR I referenced this issue in the ELTS internal tracker.
(I didn't see follow-ups to this bug until I checked again by chance;
honestly I'm still puzzled on how the BTS is supposed to help with that.)
