"not force and not earlyabort" simplifies to "not earlyabort" rather
than "not force", as an easy hint would set "earlyabort" but not
"force".

When processing a hint of the form "easy pkgX libX" where libX would be
a candidate for smooth updates because pkgX/testing depends on it but
pkgX/unstable does not, and there are no other reverse dependencies,
the old binary from libX can simply be dropped straight away.

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

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.

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

unversioned names.

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

regarding the architecture(s) on which its dependency to pkg2 exists.

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

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.

t-p-u approval previously required both an "unblock" and an "approve"

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.
