As a fundamental question - do you think that pulling artifacts from
LVFS by autopkgtest is reasonable?  These were originally intended for
gating upstream CI so that no code got introduced that broke existing
devices that supported emulation data.

It's a LOT less likely that such breakage happens in distro packages
that just move dependencies around.

TBH - It was a bit of a surprise that they were running in Ubuntu
autopkgtest.

Title:
  fwupd: network-based tests failed to run

Status in Auto Package Testing:
  New
Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  `fwupd` package added network-based tests (to test whether firmware
  updates could be performed) since version 1.9.1.

  The tests failed due to the HTTP proxy blocklist (which needs access
  to cdn.fwupd.org).

  The issue was discovered in the local runner with these log lines:

  ..snip
  failed to download http://cdn.fwupd.org/downloads/01b95b0206f1a42a2bf95a432d162ef1f9f1f71edb5696127c923ceffadfdf68-a3bu-xplained123.zip: Failed to download, server response was 403: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>

  In the Ubuntu-hosted autopkgtest runners, it failed with a cryptic message:

  ...snip
  failed to load emulation data: emulation is not allowed from config
  FAIL: fwupd/fwupd.test (Child process exited with code 1)
