> FYI: I'll soon cut an upstream autopkgtest release and merge, upload
to Debian, merge in Ubuntu, and they this will be SRUd to Noble (and
likely Jammy) under the autopkgtest SRU exception.

Added jammy as a target series.

Please assign yourself to the series if you want to take care of the SRU
uploads. Thanks!

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The bug displays a warning when calling autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud. This is because the call to qemu uses a deprecated short version. The risk is that
  in a future version of qemu the support for this short option is removed and
  the tool stops working.

  [ Test Plan ]

  Use the patched autopkgtest package to run the 
  autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud command, and verify that the warning
  is gone.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  People running versions of qemu without the support for `readonly=on`
  (if such version exist) may have the autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud
  tool stop working.

  [ Original Bug Report ]

  When calling autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud on Ubuntu Noble, this
  warning appears:
