Sorry, I wasn't aware of that piuparts interface. Note that the actual backends
still exist, they just got renamed to autopkgtest-virt-{schroot,lxc,qemu,...}
in 4.0, and the package has carried backwards compatible adt-* name symlinks
for a long time. I only dropped these. (Same story for "adt-run" vs.
"autopkgtest" - but here the CLI did change quite a bit).
