[pkg-gnupg-maint] gnupg2 autopkgtest uses multi-arch which seems fragile

Hi gnupg2 maintainers, all,

I am investigating the autopkgtest regressions of glibc¹ (2 left after
some retries). I notice that gnupg2 fails (also in the retry) with the
error below. I don't fully understand yet, but I think this is due to
some requirement that only unstable can fulfill at the moment (also, the
test passes there). Because the autopkgtest of gnupg2 does this, the
regular fall-back isn't available and the test errors out.

Does anybody see what goes wrong? And how should this be solved? If not
I recommend to add a "flaky" restriction to the restrictions of the
autopktest of gnupg2 as it seems to me that this isn't suitable for
unstable-to-testing migration checks.

Paul
