Well, you wrote the script, together with Helmut Grohne (who reads us
in Cc).
I rather see myself helping the two of you in debugging it...   :-)

I've just performed another test, setting a much smaller size for the
image to be created:

  $ TMPDIR=/dev/shm mmdebstrap-autopkgtest-build-qemu \
                    --size=2G --boot=efi sid sid_amd64.img

but the result was the same exact error that I have previously reported
in the original [bug] report.

[bug]: <https://bugs.debian.org/1060416>

Hence, it seems to me that the issue is not with the size of the
filesystem where the temporary directory is created.

Indeed, the error does not seem to have anything to do with a "No space
left on device" failure:

[...]
  mke2fs 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023)
  mkfs.ext4: Permission denied while trying to determine filesystem size
  E: setup failed: E: command failed: /sbin/mkfs.ext4 -d "$1/mnt" -L 
autopkgtestvm -E 'offset=134217728,assume_storage_prezeroed=1' 'sid_amd64.img' 
'25G'
[...]

What can cause mkfs.ext4 to fail with a "Permission denied" error?
