[Bug 1424776] Re: Cannot run tests on device

Also, we really shouldn't run apt-get update without explicitly asking
to. It would meant that you run an old image with test dependencies
which changed since the image was built, which is always prone to
failure. Fixing this properly requires re-thinking how we build our
archives, and we need to keep the older debs around for much much longer
than a day. But I realize this isn't going to happen anytime soon, so
the next best thing is to use ro-apt-update and live with the fact that
we sometimes can't test old images any more as the archive moved ahead.

Marking as a duplicate of bug 1408350 as there isn't much more that we
can sensibly do here.

   'apt-get update' should be configurable as part of testbed setup
