Proper way to handle britney hints

[Andreas Hasenack]

Hi,

I would like to know how to properly handle updates to the so called
"britney hints", which controls how DEP8 test failures are handled in
migrations. Particularly for the development release.

I uploaded https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ocfs2-tools/1.8.5-5ubuntu1
on Jul 31st, and it has a known failure[1][2] on s390x, for which I
proposed this branch[2]. I also pinged in #ubuntu-release several
times after that.

It seems this communication got lost somehow. Except I already got two
emails from some bot telling me my package hasn't migrated and I
should do something about it, so that part is working.

So here is me doing something about it :)
