Handle an autopkgtest failure

See also: Explanation → Autopkgtest failures

1. Determine if the failure represents a regression caused by the SRU, or if it is a false positive that will not cause a regression if the SRU is released to -updates.

2. If this is a real regression, follow How-to → Report a regression instead.

3. Submit autopkgtest retries if you consider this appropriate, such as if you think the cause of the failure is a flaky test. If this resolves the issue, no further action is required.

4. If possible, submit further SRUs into -proposed that resolve the issue, such as [TBC]

5. Post an explanation to the relevant bug containing your analysis that describes how you arrive at your conclusion that this is a false positive.
