Ok, that's at least progress. Thanks for testing.

Hm, I wasn't aware that scsi_debug is not built on all architectures.
I guess it would make sense if the storaged test checks for the
availability of the scsi_debug module and simply skips the test if the
module is missing (I think returning 77 should be sufficient)
Would you like to work on such a patch?

TBH, no idea. This would probably need input from the autopkgtest/debci
maintainers what kind of environment can be expected by autopkgtests
and which dependencies need to be listed explicitly.
Which dependencies are missing, btw?
