[test case]

run autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud with either -r precise or -r
trusty:

$ autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud -r trusty
Downloading https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/trusty/current/trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64.img...

No image exists for this release/architecture
$ autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud -r precise

No image exists for this release/architecture

[regression potential]

very little, as this is a simple change and using precise or trusty with
the script does not work at all currrently.  any regression would be
around downloading the ubuntu-cloud image.
