And thanks to you for helping me out, especially in the beginning.

Are you subscribed to debian-devel? I already explained there¹ how
DDs/DMs can reset the baseline. Also, Debian really tries to prevent
regressions in testing. I.e. when a failure has landed somehow (e.g.
hinted or by time passing in the current system), then there will not be
a regression anymore. Unlike Ubuntu that has a
did-it-pass-ever-in-any-release strategy.

What I am considering is how to handle the situations where multiple
triggers are needed. Currently that doesn't work except for one of the
RT (or me) manually scheduling tests with a set of packages from
unstable with the right trigger. And this for each trigger as britney
doesn't handle multiple triggers (= triggers with a space) specially
yet. I wonder if this already works properly if the versions were
properly tracked in the (Test) Depends.
