apt-get install autopkgtest --install-suggests

will install these packages with a fresh install :)

apt show autopkgtest

will show all of the recommended packages for autopkgtest

We obviously can't get these as dependencies for the package itself but
an upstream PR which adds a check into the script sounds great :)

Title:
  autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud does not require dependencies to
  start

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Running autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud on a fresh install (as of
  5.37ubuntu3 on noble) will download the requested release image before
  trying to use the required packages to build it such as genisoimage
  and qemu-utils.

  If these packages are not present in the system the process will fail
  here, after downloading the iso and will require a re-download after
  installing the required packages.

  It should check that the necessary packages are installed before
  spending time downloading the image.
