This can be looked at several ways and thank you for collecting a few opinions. As Simon pointed out passwordless sudo is available in Ubuntu test images (both for VMs and LXC runners), thus it is not a surprise that tests started relying on that. IMO making passwordless sudo available is the most pleasant way of enabling testing as a normal user and still allowing raising privileges for a few operations. On Ubuntu isolation-container and isolation-machine will keep implying passwordless sudo being available and IMO the easiest solution forward would be generating Debian test images the same way. Personally I'd like to see Debian executing the tests using sudo and any other way would be just more complicated. The needs-sudo restriction can be a good way of documenting the tests' requirements and the test runners' capability. Should none of the above would be adopted in Debian I can make the test SKIP if sudo fails. Cheers, Balint -- Balint Reczey Ubuntu & Debian Developer
