commit cfd6ef529313a522666e1dbc53bd6cc9c2b77c68
Author: Paride Legovini <paride@debian.org>
Date:   Wed Apr 8 11:36:20 2026 +0200

    build-lxd: get image arch from lxd/incus metadata
    
    This is more correct: the detected architecture is used to construct the
    image metadata to be used for the autopkgtest image, and we should stick
    with the same conventions used for the base image.
    
    One case where the image metadata architecture and the dpkg architecture
    differ is with Ubuntu architecture variants, e.g. the dpkg architecture
    of a /amd64v3 image is still amd64.

commit 80951b439ddb649568cbff5962719a67947b56ae
Author: Wesley Hershberger <wesley.hershberger@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 25 21:17:35 2026 -0500

    lxd/incus: Probe for current project & remote
    
    Probe for the current remote & project, and store them for later use.
    This allows a user to start autopkgtest and then use
    `lxc project switch` or `lxc remote switch` without autopkgtest losing
    access to the testbed.
    
    Alternatively, autopkgtest could simply default to the local remote (as
    implied by the existing help message) & default project, but that
    behavior would be different than the current behavior and is likely less
    obvious to a user than this.

commit 51afa3eaf53e129f663b09d5cfa949649ba97716
Author: Wesley Hershberger <wesley.hershberger@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 25 21:25:43 2026 -0500

    lxd/incus: Use image from the same remote
    
    If the remote provided with --remote is not the current one (as returned
    by `lxc remote get-default`), autopkgtest will search for the image on
    the wrong remote.
    
    Assuming an image with the same name/id is available on the current
    remote, lxd will attempt to copy the image from the current remote to
    the one provided with --remote in order to launch the instance.
    
    This commit assumes that the image should come from the same remote as
    the instance will be launched on, if no remote was specified with the
    image.

Author: Paride Legovini <paride@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Mar 5 10:11:39 2026 +0100

    build-lxd: more renaming from "container" to "instance"
    
    Instances can be VMs or containers. Let's refer to them as "instances"
    in the script. The usage of "container" dates back to when LXD only
    supported containers.

commit 61b1070561020c730e3b0236a6083f5d7a19c6d7
Author: Paride Legovini <paride@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Mar 5 10:07:15 2026 +0100

    build-lxd: rename CONTAINER to AUTOPKGTEST_TEMP_INSTANCE
    
    Instances can be containers of VMs, so CONTAINER was not a fully
    appropriate name. This is preparatory work for making the variable
    overrideable from the environment, so we need a good name for it.

    autopkgtest-virt-lxd: ignore stderr from `[...] image info`
    
    When incus is used by the very first time, it will print a message to
    stderr that will cause this call to fail. I'm not sure whether this
    affects lxd, but in any case, the stdout of `lxc image info $IMAGE`
    is already enough to test what that code is testing.

    CI: suppress lintian warning on usage of skip-not-installable
    
    We run the Salsa CI pipeline so SALSA_CI_LINTIAN_FAIL_WARNING
    enabled, so the tag causes the pipeline to fail. Suppress the
    tag for now.
    
    We currently use skip-not-installable to allow the LXD tests
    (d/t/lxd) to be skipped on Debian, where lxd is not readily
    available, without extra test runtime logic.
    
    I want to drop that usage skip-not-installable, but doing so
    requires some discussion on how move away from the current logic.
    For now, this change will allow CI to pass again.

    Always revert testbed before running individual tests
    
    Do not try to be smart and reuse the testbed for different tests. If
    possible, run each test in a pristine testbed. Reusing the testbed can
    speed up running tests, but we want to prioritize consistency of the
    test execution and principle of least surprise [1] over optimizing test
    runs.
    
    Autopkgtest will still allow running tests on a dirty testbed if the
    virt server does not have the revert capability.
    
    Packages heavily relying on testbed reuse (see e.g. #1063533) should
    consider merging tests, and have individual tests produce useful output.
    
    The new simplified logic allows some renaming (e.g. deps_new -> deps)
    that will hopefully make the code easier to read.
    
    Tests are added for the new logic.
