Discussed with Olivier over IRC that the otto issue is a limitation of the lxc containment in use and further support of otto is being deprecated in favor of a future solution that will run desktop tests natively on the hardware. Olivier also supports just disabling these tests (which was guidance we received from bfiller at the UE sprint in Washington DC) as they have just become noise and the more useful tests are the ones being run on touch devices.
I will need to investigate the /dev/shm issue for the vivid builds. My theory is that this used to work but was disabled as it presents a potential containment hole between the chroot and the host. But that's just a theory. Given how we setup the pbuilder chroots, we may be able to do something about this. My only concern is that LP may then fail to build due to this problem. But currently Olivier can confirm that LP still builds.
