Memory erasure tests regression on the devel branch

The memory erasure tests have been failing on the devel branch for a few weeks.

Significant changes between these commits:

  • Linux upgraded from 4.17.0-3 to 4.18.0-2 and accordingly, aufs4-standalone upgraded from 01543e47eae7653c7e9a35a7204301f8a0b3ca50 to bdda97c749604bb9ea3f19e0c1ffac9042e79f77 → I doubt that matters because our stable branch also includes this change and there, the tests pass
  • debian APT snapshot updated from 2018100901 to 2018101503 which includes at least systemd 237-3~bpo9+1 → 239-7~bpo9+1

Sadly, the build artifacts for these 2 ISO build jobs and most of the relevant APT snapshots have been GC’ed already. Still, comparing the .build-manifest for the last successful builds of stable and devel and filtering out those that were upgraded in Debian after 20181015, the only potential culprit I see is the systemd 237-3~bpo9+1 → 239-7~bpo9+1 upgrade, which happened on 20181009 but strictly after the 2018100901 debian APT snapshot.
