Title:
  the image for the autopkg tests has a big python3 stack installed

Status in Auto Package Testing:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  the image for the autopkg tests has a big python3 stack installed,
  that leads to test errors different to Debian, and is different across
  architectures (armhf != !armhf).  These packages should be removed for
  autopkg testing.

  Seen with python-jsonschema failing it's autopkg tests:

  http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/p/python-jsonschema/focal/amd64
  http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/p/python-jsonschema/focal/armhf

  amd64: 2020-01-23 20:45:55 UTC
  armhf: 2020-01-23 20:09:14 UTC

  The jsonschema/jsonpointer issue is described in
  https://bugs.debian.org/949723.

  On non armhf archs, the python3-json-pointer package stays installed
  and triggers some additional tests, while on armhf it is not installed
  and the tests pass.

  This makes it very hard to debug the tests, when you have undocumented
  packages installed, which are also different across architectures.

  As a first step, please list the installed packages in the autopkg
  tests.

  Second, please remove the dependencies installed by cloud-init before
  running the tests. having a big python3 stack installed by default
  doesn't help.
