Is there still something that sudo can do here? I fixed an issue in the
ldap autopkgtest¹ recently, but your logs looks like the test gets
further than the place where this issue errors out.

Would more output in the test help? What is the canonical way to write a
test that can have its verbosity turned up for debugging, how is this
wish communicated to a system that runs the tests in an automated way?
Can a mere mortal DD run an autopkgtest on a porterbox?
