[Piuparts-devel] Piuparts cannot-be-tested - perl related?

[Adrian Bunk]

testing migration of sdb is blocked by
  https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/s/sdb.html

My theory is that this might have been a spurious error due to the amd64 
perl packages being in unstable before the -all packages were in unstable
(the apt error message is not really helpful in such cases).

Can you reschedule sdb?

Other testing migration blockers that look like the same root cause:
https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/d/dbconfig-common.html
https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/m/mon.html
https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/m/mysql-defaults.html
https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/p/pbuilder.html
https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/libf/libfinance-qif-perl.html

Does it actually make sense to treat cannot-be-tested as blocker for 
testing migration? Looking at [1] the valid cases are dependency 
problems that are anyway blocking testing migration since being
able to install the package is what britney already checks.

Thanks
Adrian
