Here's my report for the week starting May 16th 2022.
I have been working on some old (100+ days) migrations and a few (TIL)
universe merges, as we're still early in the cycle and the Debian
auto-sync is open. Furthermore, I've had a look at the sponsorship queue
for patches that are affecting kinetic. And we had an interesting
discussion about an exotic "1.0.1-3willsync1" version string (read
below: gnudatalanguage).
### pipewalker ###
pipewalker / 0.9.4-5
Couldn't reporduce failure locally in LXD container, but happens inside
a qemu test environment (for Ubuntu and Debian).
Keep xvfb server running during test, to avoid failure in qemu
autopkgtest by passing the "-s -noreset" argument to xvfb-run in
debian/test/control. Migrated.

### python-omegaconf ###
python-omegaconf / 2.1.0~rc1-2
This package is in very bad shape and requires an online connection for
its build to succeed, FTBFS otherwise. IMO this is a candidate for
future removal... I've filed a bug in Debian about it.
https://bugs.debian.org/1011139
### pysdl2 ###
pysdl2 / 0.9.9+dfsg1-2
Tagging the LP bug report "update-excuse" to make it show up in
update_excuses and connect the dots with the upstream work that @ogayot
has already done. Upstream seems to be interested in fixing the issue.

### isc-dhcp ###
isc-dhcp / 4.4.1-2.3ubuntu3 vs systemd
Cannot reproduce locally / in Canonistack arm64, running an armhf LXD
container. So I retriggered the test a couple of times, as it seems to
be flaky (i.e. dependent on the load of the armhf infrastructure on
autopkgtest.u.c). Still doesn't pass on the infrastructure. Might needs
some bigger investigation.
### fwupd ###
fwupd / 1.7.7-1
autopkgtest failure on arm64, due to /dev/mtd0 being present on
autopkgtest.u.c (only for arm64). I've worked with upstream to detect
the proper testing setup (using the "mtdram" module) and submitted a
debdiff, increasing the test-coverage on the way. Migrated.

### checkinstall ###
checkinstall / 1.6.2+git20170426.d24a630-3ubuntu1
Universe merge. Dropping glibc 2.33+ fix from the Ubuntu delta, as it
was applied in Debian. Migrated.
https://bugs.debian.org/996478
### lua-dbi ###
lua-dbi / 0.7.2-3ubuntu1
Universe merge. Keeping the existing Ubuntu delta, as it still FTBFS
without the mysql-8.0 patch. Migrated.
### swaylock ###
swaylock / 1.6-2
Universe merge. It's a sync actually, as the Ubuntu delta is applied in
the new upstream release. Migrated.
### aplus-fsf ###
aplus-fsf / 4.22.1-10.2
Universe merge. It's a sync actually, all of the Ubuntu delta has been
applied in Debian. Migrated.
### ganeti-instance-debootstrap ###
ganeti-instance-debootstrap / 0.16-7ubuntu1
Universe merge. Carrying forward the Ubuntu delta. Migrated.
### python-ulmo ###
python-ulmo / 0.8.8+dfsg1
Fails on autopkgtest.u.c infrastructure, due to the proxy environment.
Some of the tests require an online connection to download certain
files. Upstream implemented mocking capabilities for some of those
tests, but the tests/files/ directory, containing the mock data, is
being removed during the DFSG repack. So we can't do much more than to
disable some more tests that require an online connection. Migrated.

### bluebird-gtk-theme ###
bluebird-gtk-theme / 1.3-3
Universe merge. Discussed with @jbicha, as one of the Debian uploaders,
about applying the change to the Debian package and dropping the Ubuntu
delta. The change was already accepted in the upstream project, pending
a new release (since a few years). Sponsored into Debian, thank you
Jeremy! Synced.

### resolvconf ###
resolvconf / 1.91ubuntu1
Universe merge. Carrying forward the Ubuntu delta, as it was rejected
(not needed) in Debian. Migrated.
### wmctrl ###
wmctrl / 1.07-7ubuntu1
Sponsored from the ~ubuntu-sponsors queue and forwarded to Debian. Migrated.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/wmctrl/+bug/1961969

### tuptime ###
tuptime / 5.1.0
Sponsored a sync from the ~ubuntu-sponsors queue, dropping the Ubuntu
delta, which has been applied in Debian. Migrated.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tuptime/+bug/1973632
### opensbi ###
opensbi / 1.0-4
Sponsored a sync from the ~ubuntu-sponsors queue, dropping the Ubuntu
delta, which has been applied in Debian. Migrated.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opensbi/+bug/1973700
### gnudatalanguage ###
gnudatalanguage / 1.0.1-3maysync1
Sponsored a debdiff from the ~ubuntu-sponsors queue.
We had an interesting discussion about the version string of this
upload: Initially a version of "1.0.1-3willsync1" was suggested, as the
fix was already committed in Debian (Salsa) but not yet uploaded. We
wanted it to sync automatically, as soon as the upload happens in Debian
and therefore avoided an "ubuntuX" version string [0]. BUT:
"-3willsync1" > "-3ubuntu1" or another potential, future "ubuntuX"
version, so if we'd need to add another patch, which might not
necessarily auto-sync, we cannot override the "willsync1" version with
an "ubuntuX" version. That's a problem and could lead to ugly version
strings.
We needed a version that does not contain the word "ubuntu", so it can
be auto-synced, once the committed patch is uploaded into Debian. But at
the same time we needed it to be bigger than the current version
(1.0.1-3build2) and want it to be smaller than a potential, future
"1.0.1-3ubuntu1" version. I came up with the following:
1.0.1-3build2 < 1.0.1-3maysync1 < 1.0.1-3ubuntu1 => 1.0.1-3maysync1
PS: "1.0.1-3~willsync1" might have been another option, but that's in
conflict (i.e. smaller than) the current "-3build2" version string.

### libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl ###
libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl / 0.32-2

delta, which has been applied in Debian.

Sponsored a merge from the ~ubuntu-sponsors queue that has been provided
by the Debian maintainer. Carrying forward the Ubuntu delta.

Lukas
