Comment 24 for bug 1744722

While I cannot seem to reproduce thsi with the provided sources.list, my test case works. I had to delete the DistUpgrade package from the source tree to get autopkgtest to pick up the installed version (or autopkgtest here apparently test the source tree, which is wrong).

With 17.10.9:
