I remember that I had lots of issues with coming up with changes to autopkgtest that also worked for Ubuntu, as they use the same Codename for the real Suite and the *-proposed Suite (which they call pocket). I don't recall if that was with respect to pinning or other aspects of autopkgtest and it's requirement to manipulate where packages should be installed from. Before committing your proposal I need to understand that I'm not breaking existing valid configurations too.I saw a comment mentionning this, but it was related to the "--apt-pocket" option and I didn't change that part, which still uses the "a=foo" syntax. https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/-/blob/master/lib/adt_testbed.py#L1263
Right, thanks for referencing that line as it has the bug number where the relevant information was. As the --pin-packages option will already have the *-pocket in the name, I think this would work for Ubuntu too. CC-ing Iain for a sanity check on our reasoning.
