Call it a britney bug or a proposed-migration bug. But to what extent should we
care about a regression which doesn't show in the software that we ship? It's
certainly not contradicting your statement "Passing autopkgtests for all
packages is a release goal", because puma then wouldn't be part of the release.
Now remove rails and dependencies and you might be able to update to a new ruby
version much earlier, with even more regressions outside the archive.
