This requires some new mechanisms: now we're skipping individual tests, not just whole test scripts. There are two main reasons why autobuilder environments might not be able to run these tests successfully, both of which apply in Debian. Tests that rely on bwrap typically can't pass in builds that take place in a chroot, because bwrap's use of pivot_root() assumes that the root directory is a mount point, but a chroot will typically have an unpacked directory somewhere below the mount point as its root. Some autobuilder environments are also sufficiently restricted that they can't create new user namespaces at all, as a way to harden the autobuilder host. As a result, Debian autobuilders can't run the majority of the Flatpak tests. We would like to be able to continue to run the subset that don't need bwrap, to have the best test coverage we can. For the rest we have to rely on installed-tests (which I've wired up to Debian's autopkgtest) rather than using build-time tests.
