Public bug reported:

The kernel dep8 tests define two tests to be run

Tests: rebuild
Depends: @builddeps@, fakeroot
Restrictions: allow-stderr, skippable

Tests: ubuntu-regression-suite
Depends: build-essential, gcc-multilib [amd64 armhf i386], gdb, git, python2 | python, bzr
Restrictions: allow-stderr, isolation-machine, breaks-testbed, skippable

Since about last year December, we see the ubuntu-regression-suite
failing because the generated dependency package (autopkgtest-satdep)
gets removed as a result of the resolver (apt install -f) running. In
the example case this is because build-essential is considered
uninstallable (however that package got installed for the rebuild run.

Following steps to resolve this uncover a second bug. It takes the
dependency string and just deletes the comma separators and uses that
string as input for "apt get install". However the included alternative
is treated as a shell pipe, resulting in "python not found" in the log.
