You are trying to run tests for jessie, or for unstable? I'm asking because in
general autopkgtest 3.6 is hopelessly broken for running tests for post-jessie
packages/testbeds, as this generally evolves with changes in the distro, new
test features, changed ways to build VMs and containers, etc.

I. e. for jessie users I much rather recommend using the current version from
backports.

Fine for me if you want to backport this (feel free to NMU). But I won't bother
doing this myself, as explained above.

Thanks,

Martin
