When trying to investigate why CUPS still fails piuparts testing, I recursively
followed a series of dependency-failed-testing until I found that:

# libcups2-dev (Debian CUPS Maintainers <pkg-cups-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>)

    * dependency libcups2 is successfully-tested
    * dependency libgnutls-dev is dependency-failed-testing
    * dependency libkrb5-dev is successfully-tested

# libgnutls-dev (Debian GnuTLS Maintainers <pkg-gnutls-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org>)

    * dependency libgnutls26 is successfully-tested
    * dependency libgcrypt11-dev is dependency-failed-testing
    * dependency libc6-dev is failed-testing
    * dependency zlib1g-dev is successfully-tested
    * dependency libtasn1-3-dev is successfully-tested

# libgcrypt11-dev (Debian GnuTLS Maintainers <pkg-gnutls-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org>)

    * dependency libgcrypt11 is successfully-tested
    * dependency libc6-dev is failed-testing
    * dependency libgpg-error-dev is successfully-tested

# libc6-dev (GNU Libc Maintainers <debian-glibc at lists.debian.org>)

    * dependency libc6 is essential-required
    * dependency libc-dev-bin is successfully-tested
    * dependency linux-libc-dev is successfully-tested

I am thus wondering why libc6-dev is marked as failed testing? 
Could this require an exception case in piuparts?
