I checked the piuparts documentation just then [2] and found out that unlike
ci.d.o or reproducible-build checks, the piuparts test will *not*
automatically be retried for the same package of the same version (same
upload). If I understand correctly, it seems that those packages uploaded in
the period when the piuparts were broken will never migrate to Testing unless
another upload is made.

This is definitely far from ideal. Is it possible to manually trigger a retry
for each packages hit by this regression? At least asking maintainers to
search throught britney update excuses [3] and making another upload is really
not a valid option. BTW, searching "Rejected due to piuparts regression" in
[3] gives 135 results.
