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:
