Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of linux-signed-amd64 the autopkgtest of zfs-linux fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of linux-signed-amd64 from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular form:

                       pass            fail
linux-signed-amd64     from testing    6.10.3+1
zfs-linux              from testing    2.2.4-2
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of linux-signed-amd64 to testing [1]. Of course, linux-signed-amd64 shouldn't just break your autopkgtest (or even worse, your package), but linux is too much at the core of our distribution that we don't want to wait for updates of packages like this one that seem to break too easily by changes in linux. Is it possible to make the autopkgtest skip the test (restriction skipable with exit code 77) if a too new kernel is installed? Such that you can still see the difference between PASS and NEUTRAL for linux kernels and hence not blocking src:linux, while at the same time still have it failing on other regressions and thus blocking those from migrating? I think we can facilitate this better from ci.d.n side, by also exposing PASS-to-NEUTRAL changes (I think we don't do that currently) in the rss feed we provide if that would help you.

If this is a real problem in your package (and not only in your autopkgtest), the right binary package(s) from linux-signed-amd64 should really add a versioned Breaks on the unfixed version of (one of your) package(s). Note: the Breaks is nice even if the issue is only in the autopkgtest as it helps the migration software to figure out the right versions to combine in the tests.
