(disclaimer: the claims below could be wrong, I'm basing this on vague
memories of my time before being a Core Dev)

IIRC, things are not that simple: you're subject to the same ACLs as if
you were running autopkgtests in the archive. In particular, you can
have upload rights to the PPA but not in the archive, in which case
your request would be rejected.

I think there's also a problem if the package doesn't exist in the
archive or doesn't have autopkgtests there?
