There are no promises beyond Required/Essential, i.e. similar to build chroots.
In practice, a few important packages will be there as it's hard to boot an
LXC/QEMU without any of them. But in general, just like a package needs to
explicitly specify its Depends: (except for Required/Essential), a test needs
to do the same.

Ryutaroh, do you have a detailed log of the failure? That may have an error
message which hints to which package is missing.

Thanks,

Martin
