Indeed, and you can even run it on your own system (which I also since
recently do) by installing autopkgtest.

adt-run --user debci --output-dir /tmp/output-dir ./ --shell-fail
--apt-upgrade --- lxc --sudo adt-sid-amd64

runs the test-suite in the current (./) package directory and gives you
a shell on failure. (I haven't had the time to start it for the MariaDB
suite yet, very maybe today).

And you have FULL freedom in your test, you can do whatever you want.

I rather expect in the tool-chain. Has anybody seen the recent change in
Perl? Your remarks about including ./ in the Perl path sounds exactly
like the change that was recently made:
