Fixed now with http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-release/britney/britney2-ubuntu/revision/463

This is actually quite an old bug, we've never handled this situation
very well. The above commit is still a compromise, but it now errs on
the side of caution: We now wait for a reverse dependency D to build
and run its tests before we promote a package P.
This might lead to stalling an innocent P if a broken (FTBFS)
reverse dependency D gets uploaded at the same time.

This can/should be handled by overrides if fixing D isn't appropriate
(i. e. it takes too long, and we wnat to unblock P after verifying
that D's FTBFS is not P's fault).

Thanks,

Martin
