I'm wondering how the help should look like, in detail.. that is: as far
as I'm not mistaken, rails 6 is already in experimental. What about
reducing manual labor involved in this, and leveraging ci.debian.net to
run tests against all of the involved packages. Of course, this only
makes sense for packages which ship autopkgtests, and so far I didn't
check how many of the involved do so, but I would assume lots of them
do.

Afterwards the results could be "looked on" programmatically, assuming
packages with passing autopkgtests good to go, leaving only packages
with failing autopkgtest to look at. And packages without tests,
additionally.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Georg
