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.
