One thing that's worth mentioning is that the output is slightly
different from the existing out-of-date checks for unstable:

- the excuse says "not yet built on $arch"
- the check purely says "has the tpu package produced any binaries on
$arch" rather than "has the tpu package produced all the binaries on
$arch which the testing package produced"

If people would particularly like it changed so that each of the missing
binaries relative to the testing package are listed then I'll look at
adding that.

Cheers,
