Actually, init-system-helpers is not responsible for the chrony test 
suite breakage. It would have happened with any package triggering the 
test. So this failure is solely chrony’s fault.

The cause is that the chrony upstream-simulation-test-suite test pulls 
clknetsim HEAD which introduces new debugging features unknown to 
chrony’s 111-knownclient and 112-port tests. I’ll have a fix for this 
soon!

Meanwhile, can the release team let migrate init-system-helpers before 
I fix chrony?
