jenkins is now running jobs as user and gives you root if requested via
needs-root stanza.

Title:
  test-suite fails in autopkgtest environment

Status in Automated Testing of Ubuntu Packages:
  Fix Released
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I am trying to add autopkgtests to upstart.

  $ bzr branch lp:auto-package-testing
  $ cd auto-package-testing/bin
  $ ./prepare-testbed -r quantal -d amd64
  $ ./run-adt-test -r quantal -a amd64 -b lp:~xnox/ubuntu/raring/upstart/autopkgtest upstart

  The autopkgtest in question requires root & build, the first step (building the package) fails at make check as shown in:
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1339937/

  Please note, I have modified upstart test-suite to try dh_auto_test as
  current user & then as 'nobody'. First pass leads to three failures,
  while the second one only one. Nonetheless it is still not enough.

  Please modify adt or upstart to succeed building in such environment
  to allow running autopkgtests.

  Regards,

  Dmitrijs.
