Public bug reported:

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

- Issues with setup-testbed installing rng-tools have been reported [1].
