This is not something you should be complaining about: there are plans
(I don't know at which point they are) to *also* consider failing
autopkgtest in testing as RC. This would mean that at some point soon,
even if a package starts to fail its autopkgtests in testing, it would
end up being removed as well.
The reasoning behind this is that it doesn't help anybody to have a
known-failing test without any other banchmark.
