Thanks!

In 3.0.1-6 (experimental) I've replaced the current restrictions with
hint-testsuite-triggers, i.e.:

   Test-Command: /bin/true
   Depends: linux-image-amd64 [amd64] | linux-image-generic [ amd64 ]
  -Restrictions: superficial, skip-not-installable
  +Restrictions: hint-testsuite-triggers

I've verified that the resulting .dsc has the same
Testsuite-Triggers field.

I would like to see the same 1-line change in Bullseye, in the hope
that it's enough to allow you folks to remove src:apparmor from
the blocklist.

Would you like to pre-approve this here, or do you prefer that
I request pre-approval via the regular release team process?

Cheers,
