** Description changed:

  Normally autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud is a better tool to build
  Ubuntu images to be used with autopkgtest-virt-qemu, however we should
  also be able to use autopkgtest-build-qemu, which builds an image from
  scratch using debootstrap. This currently fails:
  
  - When building >= Focal images, autopkgtest-virt-qemu fails as it tries
  to install ifupdown on the testbed, which is not available in main (the
  only enabled component during debootstrap). We should stop installing
- ifupdown in >= Focal or maybe >= Bionic.
- 
- - When building Noble images, looks like debootstrap fails to install
- coreutils, so the system is unusable. Maybe related to deb822 sources?
- To be fixed somewhere else
+ ifupdown in >= Focal or more probably >= Bionic (when netplan has been
+ made the default).
  
  - Issues with setup-testbed installing rng-tools have been reported [1].
  
+ Note: at the moment autopkgtest-build-qemu is also failing to build
+ noble images because the release pocket is currently missing binaries.
