Well, if I recall correctly one of the worries during the bookworm 
development cycle was a class of bugs that would break on 
un-merged-/usr, but not on merged-/usr. Hence, we *choose* to have 
piuparts test with the former. I don't think *yet* that that was a mistake.

Indeed, britney2 only looks at the pure sid and pure testing results.
