Previously whether such packages received excuses, and the specific
content of such excuses, was dependent on the order in which their
binary packages were considered.

Technically, we simply sort by the "hint-size", but it for most parts
have the effect of putting single item earlier. Note this is /not/ a
perfect solution, but it is a simple heuristic exploiting the common
case.

This made iter_packages_hint a thin wrapper around try_migration, so
it was inlined into its only caller "do_all".

The callers of get_dependency_solvers need to do those table lookups
anyway. By moving it out, it is now possible to reuse the results.

Rely on the Installability tester to locate all of the affected
packages plus their transitive reverse dependencies. As the
InstallabilityTester is suite agnostic, the set of affected packages
now includes (versions of) packages not in testing, which is filtered
out during the check.

If we have an up-to-date arch all package available for this architecture,
that doesn't mean this architecture has an up-to-date build. We need an
architecture specific up-to-date package for that.

For fucked architectures, binaries from older versions are allowed to be in
testing, so we only remove them if they are gone from unstable.
Signed-off-by: Ivo De Decker <ivodd@debian.org>
Old binaries in testing are usually old versions of libraries that where
smooth-updated. These should only be kept in testing as long as they are
needed to install other packages in testing. When they are no longer needed,
they can be removed, even if the old library is still in unstable (where it
might be needed for reverse dependencies which are not in testing).

Move nuninst cloning out of the check loop and always populate the new
nuninst entirely.
This will allow some simplifications in other places.

Use a set to filter out seen items to avoid doing O(n^2)
de-duplication. For very large hints, this can take considerable
time.
Using "seen_items" to build the actual hints on the (unverified)
assumption that Python can do something "smart" to turn a set into a
frozenset faster than it can with a list.

Britney is now smart enough to produce the same result from hints
regardless of the order of the items in the hint. With this in mind,
we can have the original auto-hinter produce hints as sets and filter
out duplicates as we produce them.
Note that the hints are sorted to produce deterministic output (to
make it easier to compare the hints between runs and changes).

Avoid some cases of O(n^2) behaviour in sort_actions and reduce the
size of n for the remaining O(n^2)-ish behaviour by filtering out
removals early on.

It's more natural to say "check this package if the current arch is in
this list" than "do not check this package if the current arch is not
in this list"

This updates the doop_source and _compute_groups functions so
that binary packages that are built from a different source
aren't included as part of an update to the original source.
In the event that it's a binary-only update, also don't remove
the hijacked packages from testing.
This change also removes an obsolete comment regardarding pre-conditions
for the _compute_groups function.
