Bug Description
While working on needrestart autopkgtests, I've run into issues testing it using my standard invocation:
autopkgtest . -U -- lxd autopkgtest/
The runner wouldn't install the built package but would just keep whichever version is in the archive, while still using the new sources for getting the test scripts, which of course would result in failures :)
It works fine with packages not part of the base image, e.g. hello.

Thanks for the report.
What version of autopkgtest are you using? I expect 5.32ubuntu3 from Noble? /salsa. debian. org/ci- team/autopkgtes t/ runner/ autopkgtest . -U -- lxd autopkgtest/ ubuntu/ noble/amd64
Is the same issue also happening using upstream's master branch?
```
git clone https:/
./autopkgtest/
```
