Hello Rafael,

Indeed, and I fixed that in git about a month ago already:

  https://anonscm.debian.org/git/autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git/commit/?id=f818619

(I'll add the Closes # for this bug). I didn't upload a new autopkgtest so far,
as git has changes which need a newer debci. This just got unblocked yesterday,
so I'll do an upload soon.

Thanks,

Martin
