Fix regexp that converts test deps into versioned dependencies
Fixes buggy case where with
package = "foobar"
candidate = "42"
dep = "foobar-dev (= 42)"
re.sub() made dep into "foobar (= 42)" instead of leaving it alone.

buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: don't exclude docs
Due to using a minimal image an excludes file is added into
/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d which prevents docs from being installed on the
testbed. This causes some packages to fail tests which check for the
presence of docs. Remove the excludes file during image generation to
install everything as intended.

build-docker(1): Consistently use podman in examples
We're recommending podman over docker as being able to run without
root-equivalence, so let's use commands that an unprivileged user can
run without modification.

virt-docker(1): Mention how to generate images locally

tests: enable test_debian_layout_unstable_pkg_with_unstable_dep
Keep skipping the test with ancient apt (<< 1.1), which has a different
solver and fails the test. This is likely the same reason why we skip
test_apt_pocket_pkg_with_proposed_dep with apt (<< 1.1).

tests: Make assertions about package_under_test_depends, not just depends
Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
commit d6bccee90ea2bf0b5f69e0a3c770f508f71d6f57
Author: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
Date: Mon Jan 20 11:29:23 2025 +0000
Rename synth_deps to package_under_test_deps
This variable was always called synth_deps, synth_depends or similar, for
"synthesised dependencies", but that name is misleading, in both
directions: not every member of the list is a synthesised dependency,
and not every synthesised dependency is a member of the list. What it
*actually* means appears to be: "dependencies that are a binary package
built by the source package under test". Rename the variables to make
that clearer.
The synthesised dependencies were originally the dependencies that were
generated to replace the special token `@`. When `@builddeps@`
and `@recommends@` were added, the corresponding debug messages indicate
that their expansions are also considered to be synthesised dependencies,
but they were not added to this list.
Meanwhile, binary packages that are listed by name *are* added to this
list if they match the name of a binary package built by the source
package under test (with some extra subtleties for alternatives-groups).
The real functional difference between this list and other dependencies,
in adt_testbed, is that for dependencies in this list, we try harder to
install a real package (not merely a virtual package). This has nothing
to do with whether a dependency was synthesised or explicit, but is
appropriate for the binary packages under test - if we are testing, for
example, notification-daemon from the source package of the same name,
then we want to install that specific binary package, as opposed to
some other package like dunst that merely Provides equivalent
functionality.
No functional change intended: this is just clarifying the effect of
the existing code.

tests: By default only exercise timeouts on known-fast architectures
See merge request ci-team/autopkgtest!506
commit 9e86d5a2d9c18064fad57d8dc80f6b07c8cd6107
Author: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
Date: Fri Jan 17 10:26:13 2025 +0000
tests: By default only exercise timeouts on known-fast architectures
We test timeouts by making one part of a test use sleep(1) to block
for a while, trying to guess a timeout *T* that will be long enough to
accommodate initial test setup (up to that point), setting autopkgtest's
timeout to a little more than *T*, and making sleep(1) sleep for
considerably more than *T*. If all goes well, this means that everything
before the targeted point runs (and we can confirm this by screen-scraping
the log), and then the test times out (and we can check that autopkgtest
responds correctly to that).
However, choosing an appropriate value of *T* is difficult. If we make
*T* too long, successfully running the autopkgtest test suite takes that
much longer, even on an arbitrarily fast machine; this is undesirable
because full coverage implies running the test suite several times
with different backends, which can be extremely time-consuming already
(see #1020699). Conversely, if we make *T* too short, we can hit test
failures on slower machines like riscv64, with the test timing out
before initial setup has finished, meaning autopkgtest will (correctly!)
report the failure differently.
In practice the timeouts we have chosen are all tuned for reasonably
fast developer machines like x86, and the code under test is identical
on any architecture, so skip these tests by default on architectures
that are not known to be fast and reliable.
Developers can set `AUTOPKGTEST_TEST_TIMEOUTS=1` to force these tests
to run even on slower architectures, or `AUTOPKGTEST_TEST_TIMEOUTS=0`
to force them to be skipped even on fast architectures.
