That seems to give false positives, see http://bugs.debian.org/659779
(Actually I didn't look at the log file again, but I have an idea what
happens.)

I don't think we can automatically mark bugs as found when analyzing
upgrade tests. The failure could be caused either by the old version or
the new version.
If the sid version is fixed but the testing version fails to install we
have to wait until the fixed package migrated to testing.

This should be a per-section config setting (defaulting to 'not updating
found versions automatically')

Concerning piuparts-analyze, this needs to read the config file - and
while we are there, it should probably loop over all the sections itself
(instead of needing an extra script for this part).
