There is no "problem" per se. It's just that Ubuntu's version of `xvfb-
run` is not really compatible/consistent with the one in other distros.
Some distros have deprecated `--auto-servernum` in favor of a different
setting `--auto-display` which I guess does something "better". I'm just
saying that Ubuntu's package could be updated to be more in-line with
others.

Title:
  `xvfb-run` doesn't support `--auto-display`

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  `xvfb` is at version `2:21.1.3-2ubuntu2` which is the latest one.
  However, `xvfb-run -h` doesn't show the `--auto-display` argument and
  running `xvfb-run --auto-display ls` leads to `xvfb-run: unrecognized
  option '--auto-display'`. This is strange because in Arch Linux, the
  same `xvfb-run` version does support `--auto-display`. On Ubuntu one
  must use `--auto-servernum` because of that but that has been
  deprecated for quite a while now.
