Re: teTeX testing migration: is hinting needed, or is it a versioned BTS issue?

The cleverness has been disabled again; it can only run without OOMing when
the number of candidate packages is reasonably low, AIUI, and it's been too
high again of late.  But that's not the real issue:

Bug #338638 in tetex-base is *not* marked as being specific to
stable/testing.  You have to mark the bug as *closed* in the current version
of the package, not "notfound".  Please review the BTS version tracking
documentation posted to d-d-a last July.  And please close the bug. :)

Anyway, a force hint is still needed for the other bug, since britney
doesn't know about version tracking yet; so I've added this now for
tetex-base.

Thanks,
