Perhaps what you mean is that we publish the ubuntu-advantage-tools package
on arm64 in xenial.

But it's an architecture: all package, so per-arch tests are of little
significance.  And xenial/arm64 is out of security support.  So no users
should be running xenial on arm64, and arm64 autopkgtests shouldn't be a
blocker.

Title:
  bos03 has broken arm64 xenial images

Status in Auto Package Testing:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  One first strange thing: apparently for Xenial we don't have an auto-
  sync/ image, like we have for the other releases, e.g:

    auto-sync/ubuntu-bionic-18.04-arm64-server-20230607-disk1.img
    auto-sync/ubuntu-focal-20.04-arm64-server-20240513-disk1.img

  however we have an image with no prefix:

    ubuntu-xenial-16.04-arm64-server-20211001-disk1.img

  and build-adt-image appears to be able to find it. However the image
  fails to boot, and therefore build-adt-image fails to generate an
  adt/... Xenial image, and we're unable to process xenial arm64 tests
  on bos03.

  A reproducer is on these lines (with the right $secgroup):

  openstack server create --flavor autopkgtest --security-group
  $secgroup --image ubuntu-xenial-16.04-arm64-server-20211001-disk1.img
  --key-name testbed-juju-7f2275-prod-proposed-migration-environment-3
  --network=net_prod-proposed-migration paride-delme-foo

  The instance is created, but is not reachable via ssh (this fails: nc
  -zv <ip> 22). It is not a networking issues as the same with --image
  auto-sync/ubuntu-bionic-18.04-arm64-server-20230607-disk1.img works.

  We should probably get IS to add xenial to the list of images to auto-
  sync. Hopefully we'll get a working image, and then a working adt/
  image will be generated.
