I can trivially reproduce your autopkgtest failure locally with:
$ autopkgtest -apt-upgrade --no-built-binaries growlight -- \
lxc --sudo autopkgtest-unstable-amd64
If you add a --shell before the --, you will get a shell in the test
sytem. To run this against a locally built package, just replace the
package name with the path to your .changes file including source, or
point to the .debs *and* your local source tree (e.g.
/path/to/growlight.deb .).
Now, your tests are full of
Couldn't get blkid probe for /dev/dm-1 (No such file or directory), retrying...
Couldn't get blkid probe for /dev/dm-2 (No such file or directory), retrying...
Couldn't get blkid probe for /dev/dm-3 (No such file or directory), retrying...
Couldn't get blkid probe for /dev/dm-0 (No such file or directory), retrying...
which tells me they should probably not be being executed in a
container.
