ok, very sorry for my delay in looking at this.
a quick scan of the results for x/b/f show:

I think the systemd-fsckd failures are issues with how the test is
trying to detect 'good' and 'bad' service status, but in any case i
rewrote some of the details of how the test works to be simpler and
(hopefully) more accurate/reliable, I'm running it through tests from my
ppa now, before I upload the test change.
I'll take a look at the other test failures; the boot-and-services test
has typically had a lot of trouble with services randomly not starting
ok, but i'll check on the details.

Bug description:
Hi,
we had such cases in the past like bug 1817721 for bionic and maybe bug 1892130 is about the same as well. 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. Could as well be any other change

(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.
