Bug#747909: autopkgtest: Support docker.io virtualization for running tests

[Olivier Berger]

Package: autopkgtest
Version: 2.16
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

It would be great to be able to run tests inside docker containers. AFAIU, this shouldn't differ too much from LXC, as docker uses Linux containers.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
