In fact I did not mention this because I managed to fix the packages
reported by dak in time for the transition. Yes, I am an old schooler
that was used to use dak for this cases... Now I've learned that this
is no longer true, as dak does not takes into accounts autopkgtests
(but maybe it should? Or maybe -Rnb is not enough?).
