piuparts tests are triggered by new binaries appearing in Packages
files. It does not know about "missing binary-all uploads".
Dependencies are taken into account with versions dropped, there is no
full dependency resolver in piuparts, apt will do that during the test.
It's better to have a log with an actual error than not doing a test
without leaving a good explanation somewhere.
Source packages are only taken into account for the reporting part.

This kind of failure is automatically retried quickly.
