I am wrong.  autopkgtest has a completely different command line
parser to adt-run.

 https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/autopkgtest/autopkgtest.1.en.html
 https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/autopkgtest/adt-run.1.en.html

adt-run's command line is a bit abstruse but I think it is more
powerful.  Unfortunately adt-run was deleted.
