Public bug reported:

Impact
------

The autopkgtest for 0.96.20.12, which introduces Ubuntu Pro in Xenial's
software-properties, failed on Dbus tests[1].

The failure is because, at some point in time, the .keep file were
removed from the otherwise empty tests/aptroot/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/. This
caused the Git repository to drop tests/aptroot/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ and
also its parent, which also became empty, and the tests try to directly
create files in those directories, raising the error.

It seems that previous uploaders did not use the Git checkout, as the
offending commit was introduced in Jun 2019 and there were subsequent
uploads that did contain those empty directories.

Test case
---------

Trigger an autopkgtest against the proposed package version. It must
succeed.

Regression Potential
--------------------

Although the introduced change is idempotent, there could be other part
of the code assuming the directories didn't exist and trying to create
them with a "fail if already exists" approach, causing a runtime
regression.
