Title:
  autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud fails during cloud-init run

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Tested on plucky on a Raspberry Pi 5.

  autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud fails to create an image during it's
  cloud-init run.

  The failures at different stages each time, so it looks like a
  resource issue. I tried increasing the disk size to 30G but that
  didn't help.

  I tried to build images for questing and plucky, and both fail. The
  failure reported is `qemu failed with status -9`
