[Bug 1588199] [NEW] tp-smapi/speakout: testing now repeatedly failing attempting to install packages

[Andy Whitcroft]

Public bug reported:

We are seeing repeated failures of previously testable packages
seemingly only in older series.  Both speakout and tp-smapi are have
failed on retry 3-4 times on all architectures:

    adt-run [20:14:45]: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ apt-source speakup
    E: Command line option --only-source is not understood
    blame: speakup
    badpkg: rules extract failed with exit code 1
    adt-run [20:14:45]: ERROR: erroneous package: rules extract failed with exit code 1

Some examples:
