This just requires a new upload, to add the allow-stderr flag, if one
hasn't
been done already. I haven't had time to do it as I've had higher
priority
work at the moment. I can probably get to this early next week.

These apparently never worked, and instead of constantly uploading new
versions
that simply removes the newly failing tests, I decided it's best to just
remove
the autopkgtest config, as it never worked. This should have been
removed by
jenkins by now as well, as I alerted you on IRC that I was doing this.

I'm guessing this is the python unit tests printing stuff to stderr
problem?
The tests are passing, but adt-run is failing anyway.


For the stderr case, it would be helpful if adt-run also printed
something informative
to stderr itself, stating the tests failed for that reason. This is all
I see in the
"console output" on jenkins, and it's not very helpful to know what
exactly went
wrong (without external context/knowledge):
