One option would be to make them all part of the same process group,
or session. It is up to the virt server to specify what the
print-execute-command does, after all.
However:
Various of us have been having a discussion on #debian-devel about
this general area. It has been suggested to me that
autopkgtest-virt-podman or autopkgtest-virt-incus might fit these kind
of use cases better.
In general, that it might be better to use existing code that knows
how to more thoroughly isolate things, than to reimplement these
features in autopkgtest-virt-unshare.
I think there is something to be said for this point of view. For
now, I'll downgrade this bug report.
