You filed MR341 against autopkgtest, thanks for that. Can you please 
hold off a bit longer than only one week to get the infrastructure 
updated? I'm confident that every test that has the needs-reboot 
restriction will start failing (which are only 21 tests according to 
codesearch). However, I fear that every test is at risk under common 
circumstances.

I don't want to be rushed into an autopkgtest update and an 
infrastructure update for something that we can plan (there's always 
risk involved and I want to have the time and peace to cope with the 
process). Having said that, maybe we will be ready next week.

Paul
