The kinetic sbuild autopkgtest regression *looks* to be a real regression to me - having a bit of a look, it seems mmdebstrap is checking the apt version against
```
$content =~ /^apt ([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)[a-z0-9]* \([a-z0-9-]+\)$/m
```
while this SRU has version string "apt 2.5.3ubuntu0.1 (amd64)". I'm not a perl expert, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't match, leaving mmdebstrap failing to detect the apt version and bailing.

It looks like this might require an mmdebstrap SRU before we can release apt?
