Actually this is autopkgtest syntax, not QEMU syntax. It looks like the change was made in:

autopkgtest (4.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add new "autopkgtest" CLI. This provides a simplified CLI compared to the
    now deprecated adt-run:
    [...]
    - The virtualization server is now separated with a double instead of a
      tripe dash, as the former is standard Unix syntax.

But thanks for this fix anyway!

6 Then run the tests of a source package like ``libpng`` in that QEMU image::

8- autopkgtest libpng --- qemu adt-trusty-amd64-cloud.img

11 The Ubuntu CI system runs packages with only selected packages from
12 ``-proposed`` available (the package which caused the test to be run); to
13 enable that, run::
14
15- autopkgtest libpng -U --apt-pocket=proposed=src:foo --- qemu adt-release-amd64-cloud.img
16+ autopkgtest libpng -U --apt-pocket=proposed=src:foo -- qemu adt-release-amd64-cloud.img
17
18 or to run with all packages from ``-proposed``::
19
20- autopkgtest libpng -U --apt-pocket=proposed --- qemu adt-release-amd64-cloud.img
21+ autopkgtest libpng -U --apt-pocket=proposed -- qemu adt-release-amd64-cloud.img

23 The ``autopkgtest`` manpage has a lot more valuable information on other
24 testing options.
