The unittest jobs run as the Zuul user. This user has sudo access when test-setup.sh runs, but then we remove sudo access when tox is run. This is important as we are trying to help ensure that you can run tox locally without it making system level changes.

When your test setup script runs `dpkg -i` this package install may start running an elasticsearch instance. It depends on how the package is set up. This daemon would run under the user the package has configured for that service. When you run an elasticsearch process from your test suite this will run as the zuul user.

Hope this helps. I also left a couple of comments on change 622871.
