Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Thanks Robie for alterting us to this message.

I've done that now. It should move out soon.

Not that though. If anyone else does this, feel free to point us to
the cases in #ubuntu-release and we can fix them.

We certainly ought to fix proposed-migration to handle this case better,
granted. There are some improvements in the handling of test requesting
/ skipped tests / neutral results / ... in Debian's britney. We'd get
fixes if we rebased ours. I did start that some months ago but it proved
to be difficult to do as we have diverged a fair bit. I'd like to get
back to it sometime soon if at all possible.

Cheers,
