As I wrote, I didn't file bugs about "broken tests" for packages which
already fail with 3.3. For misaka I filed LP#1272372 that merely says
"needs to build a python 3.4 extension". The test shows clearly that
it doesn't currently have one.

Yes, that's a fair point. I believe we should only consider a failed
autopkgtest in britney if it ever succeeded, so that this doesn't
happen.
