I very much welcome this change, but I think we're now missing an easy
way to build (sbuild) packages with -proposed fully enabled. schroots
created by mk-sbuild and sbuild-launchpad-chroot may have -proposed in
sources.list, but that's not going to be used in >= Lunar. On Launchpad
some extra pinning is done to fully enable -proposed [1].
One way to re-enable easy builds with full -proposed could be modifying
sbuild-launchpad-chroot (/etc/schroot/setup.d/90apt-sources) to do the
same pinning that Launchpad does [1]. Once we have a way to sbuild with
-proposed enabled I think enabling NotAutomatic for the stable releases
would be a good idea: other than helping with SRU verification, the
change will keep the -proposed behavior uniform across releases.
