[Bug 1988994] Re: TEST-58-REPART autopkgtest failure on ppc64el

[Nick Rosbrook]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  With systemd 249.11-0ubuntu3.5 in jammy-proposed, which enables systemd-
  repart, the TEST-58-REPART fails on ppc64el:
  https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-
  jammy/jammy/ppc64el/s/systemd/20220906_165335_6dd88@/log.gz.
  
- This is due to a missing commit from upstream:
- https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/8e65d93e85f06e3f2
+ After trying to cherry-pick upstream commits, including [1], the test is
+ still failing on ppc64el. This may be a testbed issue, and for now it
+ seems the best course is to skip the test.
  
  [Test Plan]
  
- This fix is verified by TEST-58-REPART passing in autopkgtest on
- ppc64el.
+ This fix is verified by TEST-58-REPART being skipped on ppc64el.
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  
- The patch is confined to the testsuite-58.sh script, so problems would
- show up in TEST-58-REPART.
+ If we messed up the denylist usage, the test would not be skipped, or a
+ different one would be.
+

  After trying to cherry-pick upstream commits, including [1], the test
  is still failing on ppc64el. This may be a testbed issue, and for now
  it seems the best course is to skip the test.

  [Test Plan]

  This fix is verified by TEST-58-REPART being skipped on ppc64el.

  [Where problems could occur]

  If we messed up the denylist usage, the test would not be skipped, or
  a different one would be.
