Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
* There has been serious issues caused by untested nullboot SRUs
breaking production deployments of Azure CVMs.
* This change adds an automated test of the nullboot package to
ubuntu-boot-test package, gating the migration of nullboot out
of -proposed against a successful nullboot update on a simulated
CVM.
[ Test Plan ]
* If the existing and newly added autopkgtests in ubuntu-boot-test
package pass, with the correct output in the test log, this
change works as intended.
* ubuntu-boot-test is not intended to be installed or used on end user
machines, thus there isn't any value in traditional manual local tests.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* The ubuntu-boot-test package was never seeded, nor is it intended to be
used by end users.
* The worse case scenario is regression of existing tests, but these are not
being changed in Noble. In case of Jammy, ubuntu-boot-test isn't even part
of the archive at present.
[ Other Info ]
* Despite being a universe package, ubuntu-boot-test is maintained by the
Canonical Foundations team.
* Azure CVMs are not supported by Ubuntu on non-LTS releases, thus there is no
value in uploading this change first to devel as no images exist that are
required to enable this test.
