For out-of-date binaries, generate different excuses when the build is

Signed-off-by: Ivo De Decker <ivodd@debian.org>
As part of a migration, we remove all the existing binaries built by
the source (possibly on a particular architecture) from testing; this
includes architecture-independent binary packages. However, when a
binNMU is in *pu, only the arch-dependent binary pakcages are present.
As a result, after the migration the architecture-independent packages
are no longer present in testing. This usually isn't a practical
problem, as dak will re-add them when it generates the packages files.
It is, however, wrong and will break if a source migration is tempted
during the same run as (and after) the *pu binary migration happened.
The simple fix is to not remove the architecture-independent packages
when performing such migrations.

Rename local variables and avoid repeated chained lookups. In
particular, avoid confusing cases like:
[...]
version = binaries[parch][0][binary][VERSION]
[...]
binaries[parch][0][binary] = self.binaries[item.suite][parch][0][binary]
version = binaries[parch][0][binary][VERSION]
Where "version" here will refer to two different versions. The former
the version from testing of a hijacked binary and the latter the
version from the source suite (despite the look up using the "testing"
table, due to the testing copy being updated).
Notable renamings:
* binaries => packages_t (a.k.a. self.binaries['testing'])
* binaries[parch][0] => binaries_t_a
* binaries[parch][1] => provides_t_a
* Similar naming used for "item.suite" instead of "testing"
The naming is based on the following logic:
* self.binaries from "packages" files
(by this logic, it ought to be "self.packages", but that is
for later)
* The "_X_a" is short for "[<suite>][<parch>]" look ups.
* binaries_X_a and provides_X_a are the specialised parts of
packages_X_a that deal with (real) binary packages and
provides (i.e. virtual packages) respectively.

Extract a specialised iter_packages_hint from iter_packages that only
deals with applying hints. This simplifies iter_packages AND avoids
having to re-compute the uninstallability counters after each single
item in the hint.
This means that a hint can now avoid triggering expontential runtime
provided only that the "post-hint" stage does not trigger expontential
runtime. Previously the hint had to be ordered such that none of the
items in the hint caused such behaviour (if at all possible).

Avoid creating two dependency clauses for dependencies emulating a
"version range" a la:
Depends: pkg-a (>= 2), pkg-a (<< 3~)

- (pkg-a, 2, arch), (pkg-a, 3, arch)

However, it is plain to see that only (pkg-a, 2, arch) is a valid

Britney merge these two claues into a single clause containing exactly
(pkg-a, 2, arch).

The new Installability Tester (IT) module replaces the remaining
C-parts. Unlike C-implementation, it does not give up and emit an
"AIEEE" half-way through.
In order to determine installability, it uses two sets "musts" and
"never". As the names suggest, the sets represents the packages that
must be (co-)installable with the package being tested and those that
can never be co-installable. For a package to be installable, "musts"
and "never" have remain disjoint.
These sets are also used to reduce the number of alternatives that are
available to satisfy a given dependency. When these sets are unable
to remove the choice completely, the new IT defers the choice to later.
This occasionally reduces backtracking as a later package may conflict
or unconditionally depend on one of the remaining alternatives.

When checking whether a tpu source has built on a particular arch, we

source package in tpu.
Signed-off-by: Adam D. Barratt <adam@adam-barratt.org.uk>
Originally when binNMUs for packages in testing were scheduled, the
binaries would be installed into tpu with no accompanying source. This
allowed the "removed binary" portions of should_upgrade_srcarch() to be
skipped (as britney had generated a faux source record).
dak now adds the source package to tpu in such cases which lead to the
"removed binary" checks being applied to binNMUs in tpu with potentially
destructive consequences. For example, if a package with amd64 and i386
binaries in testing were binNMUed on just amd64, britney would notice
that there were no i386 binaries in tpu and subsequently remove the i386
binaries from testing as well.
In order to resolve this, we skip the check for removed binaries when
building excuses for a binary-only migration via *pu.

The primary difference between the parsing / output of excuses for *pu
and unstable unblocks is the messages displayed. We can therefore remove
some duplication by having the same code handle both, outputting the
appropriate message.
Where a *pu package is also the subject of a "block" (most likely during
a freeze) we only supply the "needs approval" or "approved" message;
previously both "needs approval" and "not touching due to block" were
output, which is redundant. We ensure that there is always a dummy
"block" hint for *pu packages to provide the "needs approval" behaviour.
Signed-off-by: Adam D. Barratt <adam@adam-barratt.org.uk>
