Can we try and find out together?

What kind of context are you looking for? Your package has an 
autopkgtest (which I assume was added such that it can run). It declares 
a isolation-machine restriction, so until yesterday, the test was never 
executed on ci.debian.net. I just realized that I could have looked at 
Ubuntu too, which uses qemu already longer. The test passes there, so 
we're looking for delta's.

It makes me sad that you see it like that. I had the impression I was 
running ci.d.n as a service to Debian maintainers.

Enabling isolation-machine doesn't break tests. It enables more tests to 
run and the test that previously didn't run now fails. Now I think we 
should be interested to learn why (personally even more so because it 
passes on Ubuntu's infrastructure [1]). Honestly, looking at the log it 
appeared to me that the test was never tried and you simple had 
forgotten to start the daemon, but given it works in Ubuntu, might this 
be a race condition?

If you don't want your isolation-machine restricted tests to run, I can 
trivially disable it again. I was rather hoping to fix either the test, 
or the setup at ci.d.n or both.
