tests: use candidate for autopkgtests
Metadata
Current evaluation
The candidate-channel autopkgtest change was closed unmerged after patchelf-related failures and a test timeout; no replacement PR or merge commit followed.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: The maintainer reported new patchelf test failures on 2020-08-13 and described the later failure as a timeout. With no merge or follow-up resolution, the proposal was abandoned.
