+  * d/iscsi-disk.rules, d/rules: Add a udev rule so that iscsid.service
+    will be started when iscsi disks are attached.  (LP: #1802354)
+  * debian/tests: sync tests with those in disco.
+     - add check that iscsid.service is run.
+     - save artifacts from the test run.
+     - when running vm for iscsi root test, disable snapd.service
+       and snapd.seeded.service to avoid unnecessary cpu and IO.
