Good that you reach out. However, the excuses are generated by the code
under the responsibility of the Release Team, hence CC-ing (via the BTS).

Even more interesting, if you click on the link to the log of the
ppc64el reference log you'll find that it ends with
command1             FAIL badpkg
command2             FAIL badpkg

We consider it a regression if the package is new in testing (it was
removed) and the "new" test fails. We declared failing autopkgtests
RC-buggy, so with the migration we would *add* an RC buggy package.

I agree there is a bug, britney shouldn't show the "reference run" result.

For new tests in source packages that build both arch:all and arch:any
packages this situation unfortunately requires either specifying the
Architectures in the d/t/control file, or overruling by the Release
Team. You *can* add the (recently supported) Architecture field to your
package, but Graham already overruled it for now anyways.

The latter gives *you* control, so that's good. On the other hand, I can
understand it when you don't want to remember to keep that in sync with
which archs your package builds on.
