To match the open packages blocked on this in active releases I added linux-meta for BIonic (thanks Kleber for the hint) and Focal (Thanks Kelsey for the hint).
I think all of those had enough of retry-until-success and I'd ask again for how we should proceed there. Masking/Resetting the test via an override would throw away so much other coverage, but lacking other feedback I'll at least proposed the change - maybe this also brings more attention to here.

There were more but I didn't want to search for all of them - what I checked is that there are no open ones clearly pointing out the recent further drop in already flaky subtests. In particular the tests "tests-in-lxd" and "systemd-fsckd" were known to be flaky before, but got even worse. Here stats of the last 40 runs, it might be a coincidences that this is after 246-2ubuntu1 landed.

(I'm sure LP will make this unreadable, but is is nice in monospace) Whatever the root cause is - the success rate of these has reduced so much that the (even formerly questionable) practice of retry-until- success won't work anymore. I have run the two tests in a local VM and systemd-fsckd works there while tests-in-lxd seems to trip over the old flaky fellow being "boot-and-services". We had the discussion in the past, but I think I need to again bring up the suggestion to skip "tests-in-lxd" and "systemd-fsckd" until they are on reasonable success rates.
