Thanks. I considered this but it seemed overkill (and it won't
inherit the dependency versions selected by autopkgtest).
For now I'm working on an adhoc thing that uses
- Restrictions: needs-root
- overlayfs to make an editable clone of the fs provided by autopkgtest
- chroot
- ip netns
- apt-mark and apt-autoremove to get rid of unwanted deps
It's not particularly pretty but it's not much code and I feel I'm
making progress. I'll report back here when I've succeeded - or
failed :-).
Thanks,
Ian.
