Since the last uprev of autodep8[1], the dkms test results changed from
PASS to PASS (superficial) along with the associated autopkgtest exit
code. The issue with this is that we can't differentiate any more
between a completely skipped set of tests to one that ran superficial
tests as they both will have the same exit code. In this situation,
having the ability to check the summary file would help to distinguish
accordingly.
This file is already in the artefacts archive but having it in the
smaller result.tar makes it better to not be forced downloading all
artefacts just to assess the state of the tests.
The main idea of packaging some of the files in the results archive was
to have the ability to have access to some of the information that is
small and useful for some use cases without getting the entire set of
artifacts. On the other hand if all artifacts are required, it would
make sense to be a supraset of results so that once available, a user
wouldn't need to access yet another archive.
This makes sense if the assumption of results having only small files
remains valid.
