In the current form the script is not very useful (as you say youself).
OTOH we could use better tools that pin-point the exact problems, and
help to ignore what are not problems.
Maybe we should not build another tool but rather improve
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/haskell.html
by telling Mehdi in what way it is not as useful for us.

Well, we don’t want to re-implement britney. (Or if we do, we might
start from https://github.com/nomeata/sat-britney).
But I believe the information is available in
https://release.debian.org/britney/update_output.txt. Currently, I see
trying: opendnssec/s390x
skipped: opendnssec/s390x (0 <- 61)
got: 38+0: i-9:a-3:a-2:a-2:k-3:k-3:m-2:m-2:p-2:s-10
* s390x: libhsm-bin, opendnssec-dbg-mysql, opendnssec-dbg-sqlite3, opendnssec-enforcer-mysql, opendnssec-enforcer-sqlite3, opendnssec-signer
and I believe this means „I’m trying to migrate a binNMU of opendnssec
to testing, but it fails by breaking these packages“
Does that help you?
Greetings,
Joachim
