yes

Failed logs shouldn't write blogs. :-)

*Failed logs get recycled* ... just increase the reschedule-fail-count
to not run into such "deadlocks" regularily, maybe from 25 to 50 and
reduce expire-fail-days from 25 to 15, I have experienced this myself
for sid-bl only that has a huge number of failures.

but passed real-upgrade logs may still contain interesting artefacts
that didn't cause a failure, (I don't have a good example here right now
..) retesting them with a no-op upgrade will destroy them.

Hmm, should we have a --reinstall switch that does apt-get install
--reinstall immediately after installation?

ignore, since you deletes fail/* they will be reprocessed or cleaned up
automatically

and maybe *thinking...* I got an idea to ensure rescheduling progress
for fail even if the queue is full :-)
