The only test currently implemented is to ensure that any prospective
hint contains at least one item beyond the hint name. This prevents
lines in a hint file consisting simply of e.g. "easy" being added to
the hint list and causing later processing to abort with an error.

This causes Multi-arch dependencies like "pkg:i386" to show up as
unsatisfiable in excuses.
Previously, the dependency would be checked on the wrong architecture
(if available) and cause the package to become a valid candidate. The
package would still be prevent from migrating as the installability
checker does not know of the "pkg:i386" package.

Presumably there once was a reason for having a notion of "depth",
but these days only 3 "values" were given as "maxdepth":
* "easy" (for easy hint)
* 0 (for "main run" or in a "hint"-hint)
* -1 (for force-hint)

This allows britney to load a python2.7 variant of the C module when

"affected" is not allowed to contain duplicates. Since the current
method of removing any such duplicates is
affected = list(set(affected))
then the order of affected is not important.
As a side effect, make get_reverse_tree return a set instead of a
list as its return value is always inserted into affected.

Features like the auto-hinter, smooth-upgrades and removal of obsolete
source packages are now unconditionally enabled.
Signed-off-by: Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>
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

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
exist and not persisting the date list makes b2 unsuitable for use as a
primary implementation.
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
