Title:
  autopkgtest failures: test-dev-null: Permission Denied

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Similar to LP: #2075546 livecd-rootfs may fail in autopkgtest with
  problems around creation of device nodes.

  Failing case:

  Note that these tests ran in different datacenters, perhaps using a different base image.
  /tmp is indeed mounted nodev in this case, so I expect alternate locations need to be used for a working directory.
