Hello all,

with autopkgtest now being able to run click tests on the phone [1]
I'd like to fine-tune the ADB setup script to require less manual
action.

One outstanding issue is to unlock Unity before starting a test. I
know the unity8-autopilot package ships a
/usr/share/unity8/unlock-device script; the setup script could
certainly download/unpack that package and run the script, but that's
ugly in several ways:

 - The script reboots the phone; surely there is a way to unlock Unity
   without having to do that? This adds a whole minute to
   each test run, and also destroys any other runtime setup that might
   have been done before.

 - Relying on external additional dependencies introduces another
   point of potential breakage.

Isn't there something easier which doesn't require all that, like
changing a configuration value and simply restarting unity itself, or
sending Unity a D-BUS call?

Thanks for any insights!

Martin
