Title:
  autopkgtest: Specifying --apt-pocket causes wrong unwanted pinning to
  default release

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in autopkgtest package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/1032314:

  Package: autopkgtest
  Severity: normal
  X-Debbugs-Cc: paride@xxxxxxxxxx

  Adding a pocket via --apt-pocket=<POCKET> causes the
  _get_default_release() function to be called. This is needed to
  construct the sources.list entry for the pocket, which will be in the
  form of:

    deb <mirror> <default_release>-<POCKET> ...

  The _get_default_release() function caches the detected default
  release in the default_release variable, which is the same variable
  used to store the --apt-default-release=<RELEASE> value. This has
  no effect when only one test is present in d/t/control, but when
  more than one test is present the tests after the first will have
  unwanted/wrong pinning (as if --apt-default-release was specified).
