If our policy marks a bunch of related packages here as non-candidates, a
force hint processed later for the package which was not a candidate is
insufficient. Instead, check here for a force hint that would
unconditionally mark a package a candidate before marking related packages
as non-candidates.
If reverse-dependencies of this package still exist on the architecture, these
would be captured as uninstallables; we don't need to additionally trigger
tests that can never succeed, would tell us nothing about the package if they
did, and will just cause more work to hint away the results.
The update of gcc to gcc-9 introduced a regression in buildability of
anything relying on kernel headers. This could have been caught by the
kernel's standard rebuild autopkgtest, but we currently only trigger the
linux autopkgtest for source packages named gcc-N, which excludes
gcc-defaults.
Include gcc-defaults in the list of packages that trigger a linux rebuild
test.

It works like this. We wait until all tests have finished running. and
then grab their results. If there are any regressions, we mail each bug
with a link to pending-sru.html. There's a state file which records the
mails we've sent out, so that we don't mail the same bug multiple times.
The apt version comparison sorts 'blacklisted' greater than most version
numbers, which means that we accidentally apply force hints for version
'blacklisted' to all uploads. Since this is the only case of a hacked
version number, let's special case it so that 'blacklisted' hints only
match packages with 'blacklisted' version.
We're supposed to synthesise an "unknown" version for these, but a bug
in the worker meant we didn't do that in some cases and these leaked
into swift. Let's repair it client-side.
This means 'all tests were skipped', or 'no tests in this package'. The
former case is new after our recent autopkgtest rebase.
Upstream britney (624b185ba60709f1686fbaa2a7623a94c5cb23ef) handles this
as "neutral", which doesn't influence the result and is a more explicit
(better) way of expressing this situation. Once we rebase, we should
take that approach.
We were just seeing an interesting crash in britney. It was trying to
look up the gpg_keys of ~python-modules-team, which is a suspended
account - in LP API terms that's a HTTP error 410.

The direct error was fixed in commit 272f41c, but we actually should
*not* have been trying to look up this team's email address in the first
place. This upload was an auto-sync and so should not cause email to be
sent. The problem is that it was synced into universe and then promoted
into main. We were looking at the SPPH for after the promotion, which
has different values in the various signer/creator/sponsor/... fields,
and that made us think that it was a regular upload to email about.
Fix this by always looking at the oldest SPPH which should correspond to
the initial upload and not whatever happened to it afterwards.
