Hi Reinhard,
I'm puzzled.

This "2>&1" was added in 5.38 to prevent the problem you're seeing. As
you see it redirects stderr to stdout, while the original report says
it fails because of output on stderr (which matches 5.37 behavior).
Does the 2>&1 not work? You're original report was against 5.37, your
patch is against 5.38.
I apologize, I was confused by the fact that this patch has not reached
sid yet.
With create-normal-user having the stderr output being redirect to
stdout using '2>&1',
the autopkgtest tool does now start executing tests. However,I still
observe confusing output:

None of that is particularly helpful and confusing at best. Filtering
out known harmless error message will avoid users scratching their
heads, wasting time on debugging and as such lead to better UX.
