Please excuse my ignorance.  I have read your intro on d-d-a but a short
link how to retrigger a test for a certain package would help.  I checked

   https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/r-bioc-variantannotation

see two links saying "Test in progress" (may be it was automatically
triggered) - but I have no idea how to force this manually.

Sounds very sensible.  I'm using this in local pbuilder installations
with good success.

Kind regards
