Speaking of your workflow, instead of `dpkg-buildpackage -S` you could
call the clean target before running autopkgtest, to make sure the tree
is "unbuilt"

  debuild -- clean && autopkgtest ...

dpkg-buildpackage -S calls the clean target, so this should just work in
your case.

Title:
  autopkgtest <src/pkg/directory> "built tree" detection is surprising
  and not well documented

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  While working on needrestart autopkgtests, I've run into issues
  testing it using my standard invocation:

  autopkgtest . -U -- lxd autopkgtest/ubuntu/noble/amd64

  The runner wouldn't install the built package but would just keep
  whichever version is in the archive, while still using the new sources
  for getting the test scripts, which of course would result in failures
  :)

  It works fine with packages not part of the base image, e.g. hello.
