Right. For anyone looking to fix this, the right place to look at is
distro_tracker/stdver_warnings/tracker_tasks.py
One way to fix this would be to look package.main_entry and see if the
associated repository is the default repository and generate the action
item only in this case.
Ideally a corresponding unit test would be added in
distro_tracker/stdver_warnings/tests.py.
Cheers,
