Even so, this bug should not be reassigned to distro-info-data. This is a bug
in dput-ng. It shouldn't randomly start failing to build because
distro-info-data changed or is outdated, something that is expected to happen
multiple times during the lifetime of a stable release.

Maybe some of these tests would be better in an autopkgtest instead of during
the build. That way, a regression introduced by distro-info-data would be
identified automatically.

There might be a bug in distro-info-data as well. But that would be a separate
bug (and I don't know if that one would be RC).

Thanks,

Ivo
