It looks like this is due to the recent change in emacs that adds
breaks/replaces/provides for built-in packages which includes compat.
Looking at the "test dh-elpa-test-autopkgtest: preparing testbed" step,
both dh-elpa and emacs were removed as a result, causing the
dh_elpa_test command not found.  This is working as intended.

So this is how this works now: when compat-el upgrades to a version
higher than the one provided by Emacs (e.g. 30.2.x.x), it can enter
Forky.  And if later a newer Emacs version provides that higher version
of compat, compat-el should be kept out of Forky again.
