Please run upstream test suite as autopkgtest

[Benjamin Drung]

Upstream ships a test suite in the test directory. Please run those test as autopkgtest.

Uploaded dracut 059-4ubuntu1 with autopkgtest. Forwarded them to Debian: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dracut/-/merge_requests/24

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

I tried to run the test suite on all Ubuntu architectures. After applying several patches (see https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/2487), it fails with lacking IDE support in QEMU for non-x86: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/issues/2493

So running the test requires more upstream work. Until then restrict the autopkgtest on amd64.

This bug was fixed in the package dracut - 059-4ubuntu2

---------------
dracut (059-4ubuntu2) mantic; urgency=medium

  * Split dracut-install into separate package for initramfs-tools
    (LP: #2031185)
  * Update out-of-tree patches to final version merged upstream
  * Cherry-pick upstream fixes:
    - fix(dracut-systemd): rootfs-generator issues
    - test: increase test VM memory from 512M to 1024M to avoid OOM killer
  * Address lintian complains:
    - Remove empty directories in /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d
    - Add ${misc:Depends} to all binary package dependencies
    - Override lintian complaint executable-in-usr-lib (reported upstream)
    - Override false positive about missing init.d scripts
  * Install files from debian/tmp to make dh_missing happy
  * Install dracut.kernel.7 man page (link to dracut.cmdline.7)
  * Restrict autopkgtest to amd64 (other architectures need upstrem work)
  * autopkgtest: run more upstream test cases

dracut (059-4ubuntu1) mantic; urgency=medium

  * fix(test): running tests no longer requires to be root
  * test: Make dracut and modules.d directory configurable
  * Add upstream autopkgtest to run four test cases (LP: #2031417)
  * Add modules 80test, 80test-makeroot, and 80test-root to dracut-core
