An "obsolete source" is one which produces no binaries. This situation
generally arises when all of the binaries which used to be produced by
the source package are now built by other sources.
Sooner or later such sources will probably be auto-crufted from unstable,
but there's no real reason to keep them in testing in the meantime.

The initial packages of a hint are HintItems, whereas other packages
considered whilst processing the hint will be MigrationItems. In
either case, the version information is irrelevant during the output
of hint processing and only displaying it for some items is confusing
and distracting. Therefore, whilst processing a hint we always use
unversioned names.

If a hint item references unstable but its version is not correct for
that suite, we compare the version to the (t)pu version (if any) and
if a match is found update the item as if it had been explicitly

The feature is used to remove binaries left by smooth-updates and is not
exposed as an available hint type.
Signed-off-by: Adam D. Barratt <adam@adam-barratt.org.uk>
Commit 94071b1649 excluded intra-source
dependencies from the determination as to whether a binary package was
eligible for smooth updates. Whilst this works in many cases, there
are situations where it breaks migration. For instance:
foo depends on libdropped1
libdropped1 depends on libdropped2
libdropped1 and libdropped2 are built from the same source; foo from
another source
libdropped2 is otherwise leaf in testing
In order to resolve this, we build a list of all packages which might
be eligible and filter out those which have reverse-dependencies outside
of their source package. For each remaining package, we consider it
eligible if its intra-source reverse-dependencies are within the list
of packages already determined to be eligible.

The minimal set is comprised of only the first level of (reverse)
dependencies, before any further iterations of packages are added to
the set. In some cases, the result of the full iteration will contain
packages which cause problems when migrated but the minimal set,
although possibly a less optimal solution, may be able to migrate
successfully.
It is assumed that migrating the larger set of packages will be
preferred if possible, so minimal sets are tried later.

Rather than only considering pairs of packages, we start from a "leaf"
package (i.e. one with an excuse which declares no dependencies on
other packages' excuses) and recursively build a list of packages
which are the dependency or reverse dependency of a package already
in the list.
Any list which is a subset of another list is ignored and the remaining
items are then processed as "easy" hints.

Previously we could not reliably detect whether an excuse's dependency
from a source package to a binNMU was valid, as the excuse did not
contain sufficient information to determine the set of architecture(s)
on which the dependency existed.
By modifying the representation of the dependency list in the excuse to
include an architecture list we can walk the relationships in reverse
in order to sanity-check the source -> binNMU dependency.

When considering an excuse for pkg1/arch, a dependency on either of
pkg2/source or pkg2/arch should be considered acceptable so long
as there is a corresponding excuse.
Dependencies from pkg1/source to pkg2/arch will still be considered
"impossible", as pkg1's excuse does not contain any information
regarding the architecture(s) on which its dependency to pkg2 exists.

The permissions issues which led to the writing being disabled no longer

If a binary package being processed as part of a hint has moved source
packages, the installability checks for the new version of the binary
need to include the reverse-dependency information from the previous
version. In order to allow this, modify doop_source() to take an
optional list of undo information and iter_packages() to pass such
a list when processing hints.

This reduces the number of ways in which we refer to uninstallable packages

Given a package where the version in testing is arch:all and uninstallable

Rather than mapping "src:foo" to "foo" whilst building the bug hashes,
we store the src: bugs "as is" in the hash, and then include them in the
list of relevant bugs when building the list for a source package.
This avoids a situation where a bug filed against "src:foo" can impede
the migration of the binary package "foo", built from a different source
package.

If new binary packages are removed from the system afer the original
packages have been re-introduced, a binary package which has moved

Starting with version 0.7.100, python-apt introduced a new API which
replaced several functions which created objects with real classes and
updated a number of method names to be PEP8 compliant.
get_full_tree may be passed an initial package which does not exist in the
target suite, for example because a package declares an obsolete conflict
on a second package which has subsequently been removed.
If the package was previously arch:all and uninstallable and has moved to
being architecture-dependent, becoming installable in the process, then it
will not be in the architecture-dependent uninstallability set; we
therefore should try removing it from that set.
When marking the reverse dependencies of each binary package as affected
by a sourceful update to testing, the reverse dependencies of those
packages are also affected, and so on.
This helps to avoid situations where the installability of immediate
reverse dependencies is unchanged, but that of other packages in the
dependency chain is altered, for example where alternative dependencies
are used.

Previously, an "approve" hint would allow a package to migrate from
testing-proposed-updates to testing even if packages were not available
for some architectures on which the package existed in testing.
The t-p-u package must now have built on the same architectures as the
existing package in testing; the previous behaviour can be achieved by
combining "approve" and "force" hints.

t-p-u approval previously required both an "unblock" and an "approve"
hint if the package was blocked; the "approve" should be sufficient and
this is the simplest method of achieving that.
There are some cases where this does not quite do the right thing (e.g.
for a package which has both a t-p-u "approve" hint and an "unblock"
hint for the package in unstable) but it is preferable to requiring
t-p-u hints to be added in pairs always.

The Sources file for unstable will contain multiple records for a single

As the latest version is that which will be considered for migration, only
that version should be added to the list of available sources.

britney now uses the "BugsV" files rather than "Bugs". The new

of the package is dependent on there being no new RC bugs in unstable
relative to testing, rather than simply fewer RC bugs.
