Bug#728304: for schroot backend allow to run tests as user while installation steps as root

[Martin Pitt]

Hello Yaroslav,

Yaroslav Halchenko [2013-10-30  8:48 -0400]:

Please note that you can have this behaviour with the current
autopkgtest if you explicitly specify the "--user $USER" adt-run
option. Then it'll use root to install dependencies and $USER to run
tests. There already was a test to make sure that works, I just
committed some extended tests that also make sure that dependency
installation still works with --user, and that "needs-root" is
respected properly.

Indeed the test gets run as root if you call adt-run as normal user
with the schroot runner. It should default to running them as the
calling user instead. I'll devote this bug report to this.

Thanks,

Martin
