Bug#842300: autopkgtest: not clear what should be in d/t/control to make /tmp/autopkgtest-reboot work
Package: autopkgtest
Version: 4.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
It isn't completely clear what a test author should do if they want to
reboot the machine: isolation-machine doesn't necessarily seem to
guarantee the ability to reboot, although perhaps in practice it always
does. In the virtualization abstraction, 'reboot' is a separate capability.
The attached patch is one way to resolve this, by adding a 'needs-reboot'
Restriction which maps directly to the 'reboot' capability.
