Note: Be careful with your terminology. "debian package" means a .deb
that you install on the system. What you are looking for is a kernel
image for x86 or an x86 Debian image.

You asked the test to boot a ramdisk but that ramdisk is not a full
system, it is incapable of installing packages like openssh-server. You
need to use NFS to get a system which can actually run an sshd daemon
(or adapt the ramdisk to have dropbear installed or similar and then
change the hacking session YAML). Note that for NFS to work, the kernel
you've chosen must have NFS support compiled in and the log for your
job looks like it does not (which is not unexpected for a distribution
kernel). Hacking a ramdisk to work on x86 isn't trivial either.

If you just want a hacking session using x86, a QEMU job is a much
easier deployment.

Booting x86 bare metal into NFS isn't straightforward, most of the
kernel images you will find will be expecting to find local media and
then support NFS of other parts of the filesystem once / is mounted
locally.
