Britney complains about "Piupart"
---------------------------------
Britney can be configured to take the results of piuparts (package
installation, upgrading and removal testing suite) into account. Currently this
policy is only taking into account the piuparts result for installing and
purging the package in the source suite and the target suite (so no upgrade
test). As with the other policies, a regression means that the package passes
in the target suite, but fails in the source suite. Unless this is a bug in
piuparts, the package needs to be fixed first to install and purge cleanly in
the non-interactive debconf state. An URL to the relevant piuparts results is
provided in the excuses.
