The bottom line here is that an SRU with failing autopkgtests is not
releasable. The CI infrastructure is the *primary target* for autopkgtests.
If you are not going to support these autopkgtests in the CI infrastructure,
they should be disabled, not left failing.

From my perspective the failing docker.io tests aren't a different bug, they
started failing at the same time according to
<http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/u/ubuntu-fan/artful/amd64>.
