Dear Maintainer, (1) autopkgtest-build-qemu sid /var/lib/libvirt/images/sid-systemd.img (2) Clone sid-systemd.img to sid-systemd-clone.img by virt-manager. (3) In sid-systemd-clone.img, run "apt-get --purge install sysvinit-core", and edit /etc/inittab to enable getty on ttyS0 and ttyS1. (4) autopkgtest -B -o /var/tmp/firefox-sysvinit firefox -- qemu --ram-size=2048 /var/lib/libvirt/images/sid-systemd-clone.img gives root@buster:~# autopkgtest -B -o /var/tmp/firefox-sysvinit firefox -- qemu --ram-size=2048 /var/lib/libvirt/images/sid-systemd-clone.img autopkgtest [03:54:28]: starting date: 2020-05-17 autopkgtest [03:54:28]: version 5.13.1 autopkgtest [03:54:28]: host buster; command line: /usr/bin/autopkgtest -B -o /var/tmp/firefox-sysvinit firefox -- qemu --ram-size=2048 /var/lib/libvirt/images/sid-systemd-clone.img qemu-system-x86_64: warning: host doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.vmx [bit 5] qemu-system-x86_64: terminating on signal 15 from pid 4132 (/usr/bin/python3) <VirtSubproc>: failure: timed out on client shared directory setup autopkgtest [03:55:08]: ERROR: testbed failure: cannot send to testbed: [Errno 32] Broken pipe The same test on firefox runs fine in sid-systemd.img. This issue is also observed in package version 5.10 shipped with Buster. This issue seems incompatible with Proposal B in https://www.debian.org/vote/2019/vote_002#textb which says "Debian remains an environment where developers and users can explore and develop alternate init systems and alternatives to systemd features."
