Hi,

Two quick questions about this. First, it appears that the patch uses 
`apt-get source` into the current directory, and doesn't change directory. 
It looks like the draft spec (README.package-tests.rst) says that you 
can't assume that the cwd is writable, and you should instead use $ADTTMP. 
Should there be a `cd "$ADTTMP"` at the top of the script?

Second, should we be merging the latest autopkgtest from sbuild 
0.64.1-1ubuntu6, including static sbuild signing keys? (I have some ideas 
for how to avoid the key requirement on recent distros by using 
[trusted=yes], but won't get around to trying it immediately.)
