An updated version of proposed-migration is available to review

[Iain Lane]

Over the last few weeks, I've been working on rebasing our extensive 
delta to proposed-migration. It's now at a state where it's ready for 
others to take a look at. Please check out the output from a dry-run 
(being re-run hourly from cron)

There are some changes worth highlighting, all of which are courtesy of 
the upstream developers - thanks to them.

  - Installability of Build-Depends is now considered for migrating.
  - Skipped / flaky tests are now reported as "No test results" instead 
    of "pass". Treating these as passes created buggy situations before, 
    where skip -> fail was treated as a regression. That won't happen 
    any more.
  - proposed-migration will now try to work out if a test requests needs 
    more triggers (packages from proposed) for the test-deps to be 
    installable, and add them if so. This should make more tests, 
    particularly for transitions, work first time and not require 
    retrying.
  - More uninstallability is detected at 'excuses' time, rather than 
    'output' time. That makes it easier to interpret.

If you can see anything that's *wrong* in the output linked above, 
please let me know. If you run any scripts which parse the yaml, please 
try them against

  https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/laney/proposed-migration/update_excuses.yaml

and ideally adapt them as necessary.

Providing no issues crop up, I'll be looking to deploy this next week.
