Dear Maintainer,

"man autopkgtest-virt-qemu" says:
REQUIREMENTS
       autopkgtest-virt-qemu  assumes  that you have already prepared a suitable Debian based QEMU image (see BUILDING IMAGES below for how to create them).
       But you can use any VM which has python3 or python installed and either

       *   opens a root shell on ttyS1, or

       *   has a serial console on ttyS0 where you can log in (getty or similar) with specified user and password. This will then be used to  start  a  root
           shell on ttyS1, to reduce this to the first case and to not assume that ttyS0 stays operational throughout the whole test.

But autopkgtest-build-qemu does not adjust /etc/inittab inside the qemu image,
and autopkgtest-virt-qemu always fails.
Workaround is easy, just modify /etc/inittab in the qemu image.

This issue is found in package versions 5.13.1 and 5.10.

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto
