yesterday there was a reply to debian-mentors [4] that listed the root
cause for all three failures:

autopkgtest: https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/issues/85
reprotest:   https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/issues/57
piuparts:    https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/issues/58

I should have checked before asking.

Yep, seeing these downloaded is what threw me off.

But thinking about it, which src:rocminfo itself being from
experimental, data for experimental should be available in all three cases.
