--print-uninst and --nuninst-cache are not mutually-exclusive
This check has been present for a long time but there is no reason for it -
there is code elsewhere that explicitly checks for both options being set
together and DTRT. And this saves a minute on each britney run to not
regenerate uninstallability information that was just generated.
Since we've never used remove hints in Ubuntu and never will, we shouldn't
pay the cost for them in britney runs. Remove references to them entirely,
to speed up britney runs.
This is an Ubuntu delta not expected to be upstreamed, and can be dropped at
some future point when we don't have 11,000 active hints. (This count of
hints is expected to drop dramatically once we have autopkgtest baseline
retesting.)
Iterate over binary packages from a source package before iterating over hints
The existing code attempts to "short circuit" processing of binaries in
unstable by first checking if the package is subject to a removal hint.
This is invalid in Ubuntu for two reasons:
- we do not use removal hints for removing packages from the release pocket
- there are 11,000 hints in Ubuntu (due to force-reset-test) - searching all
hints is time-consuming and not a short-circuit at all.
Reorder the code so we only scan the hints if there's otherwise an
indication of something to do.
autopkgtest: Check for kernel-triggered tests when migrating kernels
We currently skip the ALWAYSFAIL/REGRESSION handling for kernels. This
can lead to us missing genuine regressions in kernel uploads. The
idea is that results from one kernel flavour shouldn't influence
another.
We can keep this idea but do better and actually check for regressions:
when looking at results, if we're considering a kernel, only look at
results which were triggered by this kernel.
