For packages with lots of reverse dependencies, new versions of those reverse
dependencies may keep on showing up in testing. If migration is blocked until
the results for these new version, migration may take extremely long. If there
are results for the current trigger but for the previous version of the reverse
dependency, use those until the fresh resuts are available.
Similar for the reference runs.
Hint to allow smooth update, even if the section isn't allowed in the
configuration.
Note that this takes the source name and the source version IN TESTING
of the binaries that must be allowed to stay around to allow a smooth
update.
Currently, britney only schedules reference runs when they don't exist. It does
strip out runs against older versions of the autopkgtest, but the current version
may exist for a while and the reference run can be old. So, add an option to
ignore old results.
When the architecture are read from the Release file, they are not
defined in the config file.
Adding 'all' as an architecture will not give the correct result. To
avoid confusion, explicitly check for this and error out if it is added.
We only want to add packages which conflict in testing, but don't
conflict in unstable. For those, the newer version (from unstable)
probably fixes the conflict.
When an arch:all binary is uninstallable on a non-nobreakall arch, don't
block it, but still mark it as uninstallable, so the autopkgtest policy
knows not to schedule tests for it.
Currently when a package is uninstallable on an arch, no autopkgtests for that arch are triggered
and the autopkgtest policy blocks migration. However it's not the job of the autopkgtest policy
to judge uninstallability and packages that build an arch:all package that just isn't installable
on the autopkgtest arch should not be blocked for this.

Use the info based on the binaries in the Suite object, instead of the
inst_tester. This should also include packages that are in testing, but
are not installable.
Rework the dependencies between excuses.
Dependencies are specified based on packages (source or binary). Based
on these packages, dependencies on other excuses (that have these
packages) are calculated.
As with package dependencies, dependencies between excuses can contain
alternatives.
Each alternative can satisfy the dependency, so the excuse only becomes
invalid if all of the alternatives of a specific dependency are
invalidated.
Tracking of the alternatives and their validity is moved to separate
objects.
Adding a source parameter to the SourcePackage allow finding the source
the object is referring to, so that parameter doesn't have to be passed
along separately.

Because autopkgtest failure in a package is now a serious bug (RC), packages
that don't opt-in should not be tested. Due to the way autopkgtest and autodep8
work together, package that don't declare they have an autopkgtest can still be
tested. However, maintainers should not be force to say their package doesn't
work with autodep8 by introducing a fake test.
When there is no test in testing, and a failing test in unstable, don't
allow the package to migrate. Doing so would make it instantly RC-buggy.

If a new pseudo-essential package was added to testing *and* it is
mutually-exclusive with an existing member, britney would incorrectly
flag it as uninstallable (unless another change triggered a cache
invalidation of the pseudo-essential set).
With this commit, the cache invalidation is now done based on whether
we add something that *might* be in the (effective) pseudo-essential
set. It is an overapproximation as there are cases where the
invalidation is unnecessary, but at the moment it is not a performance
concern.

The optimizations relies on assumptions that are not valid with the
allow-uninst that has not been corrected. When these assumptions, we
end up with invalid nuninst counters.

The spec for Release files says that (at least) one of "Suite" and
"Codename" will be defined. This implies that "Suite" is optional
in some cases and SuiteLoader now correctly falls back to using
"Codename" in that case.

When an allow-uninst hint is added for an unversioned binary package, items
are allowed to migrate, even if they make that binary package uninstallable
(on the architecture specified in the hint, if one was specified, or on all
architectures otherwise).
Using this hint should avoid using force-hint to allow specific breakage.

The code that was supposed to check uninstallability of existing binaries was
broken:
- it only checked arch: all on nobreakall archs, not arch any
- it checked if the new binary was in testing (this never happens)
- it doesn't work when binaries from both unstable and tpu are needed
Note that _excuse_unsat_deps() now handles nobreakall correctly.
don't show information about unsatisfiable depends that is not blocking
migration:
* arch all not on nobreakall arch
* arch any or arch all on breakarch
Also, set verdict to REJECTED_PERMANENTLY explicitly. This was already done
implicitly, because that is the default and it was never set to anything else.

If the cruft removal item has a different version than the binary currently in
testing, then the cruft item was replaced since it was added, or it was added
in error. In this case, the item should not be processed.
