Hi Peter,

I have been observing a number of python cruft packages that are still

cruft has never been supposed to be in testing.
My understanding is that smooth updates is a feature that deliberately allows some cruft in testing to make it easier for transitions to complete.
I had assumed that you had expanded smooth-updates from library packages to other packages, looks like that assumption was wrong.
There was a bug in
britney that we believe is fixed. The end of the output.txt has the
packages which shouldn't have been left in testing:
List of old libraries in the target suite (96):
[...] (libraries in smooth update transitions)
python-colorama: amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 mips64el mipsel ppc64el s390x
Removal blocked by ceph (fixed in new), hinge (fixed in unstable, but struggling to migrate would have been autoremoved, if someone hadn't gone and added a blocker to the bug, resetting the timer),polenum (just bumped the bug to rc), python-click (this one looks like a problem, it's a key package and it's python 2 removal bug in unstable has a bunch of blockers listed), python-colormap (fixed in unstable, blocked from migrating by hinge), python-easydev (fixed in unstable, blocked from migrating by hinge), flask (just upgraded bug to rc) and impackage (just upgraded bug to rc)
python-colorlog: amd64 arm64 i386 mips64el ppc64el
Basically a subset of the above, python-colormap, python-easydev and hinge. Afaict if hinge is removed or fixed then python-colormap and python-easydev should be able to migrate and this should be able to be cleaned up.
python-fonttools: amd64 i386
python-fs: amd64 i386
I have just uploaded NMUs of nototools and fonts-noto-color-emoji to delayed/5 to fix these.
python-terminado: amd64 i386
Waiting for jupyter-notebook to migrate to testing.
python-waitress: amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 mips64el mipsel ppc64el s390x
Blocked by ceph (fixed in new), python-pecan (fix blocked by ceph), and webtest. According to the bug "blockers", the fix for webtest is blocked by routes, which in turn is blocked by calibre, but i'm not sure these "blockers" are entirely accurate, I will follow up to the bug on python-routes.
I see, probably a bug somewhere. I think the code that generates the
list for autoremoval is this one:
https://salsa.debian.org/qa/udd/blob/master/udd/testing_autoremovals_gatherer.pl
I'm afraid I don't speak perl.
I wonder if it makes sense to manually remove hinge for the moment.
