Title:
  $HOME is not set in --shell-fail prompt

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in autopkgtest package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  pull-lp-source hello
  cd hello-*
  # Stick "exit 1" into debian/tests/upstream-tests so it will fail
  dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -S -sd -nc -d
  cd ..
  autopkgtest -s -B *dsc -- lxd ubuntu-daily:lunar
  echo $HOME

  # Actual behaviour: $HOME is unset; expected behaviour: $HOME is set

  $ dpkg-query -W autopkgtest
  autopkgtest     5.25ubuntu4

  I tried this on sid with the null runner, and $HOME was set correctly
  there. This might be a consequence of the null runner not resetting
  the environment (as might be expected), or point to a bug specifically
  in the lxd runner; I'm not sure.

  I did find that $HOME is set in the actual test run. But then my test-
  in-development started failing in other ways because $HOME was not set
  in the --shell-fail environment. What I expect is that the --shell-
  fail environment is identical; otherwise it's difficult for debugging.
