[Bug 1958904] [NEW] autopkgtest is failing on jammy with "no space left on device"

[Andrea Righi]

Public bug reported:

In debian/tests/prep-image we create an image file of 1GB, but recent
jammy cloud images are (barely) bigger than that, for example the
current one uncompressed is 1001MB...

Maybe we should consider to create image files of 2GB or even bigger,
considering that we are only going to allocate the space that is
actually needed, because we create the file using truncate.

** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
