I just set a salsa-ci pipeline to try to reproduce the issue, but I 
believe it's only testing against packages in testing and latest commit.
Anyway I did not reproduced the issue. I did not find a way to run 
puiparts myself yet.

In the mean time I made a fix [0], can you tell me if this looks good, 
at least if I going in the right direction :)
