  autopkgtest-build-qemu fails to build Ubuntu images

Bug description:
  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 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.
