I am indeed aware that version 0.4.x of python-cfg-diag will break remrun-0.2.2; that's the reason I uploaded remrun-0.2.3 on the very next day - it includes a bumped dependency on python-cfg-diag >= 0.4 in both debian/control and debian/tests/control. I just realized that maybe I should have given a hint about that breakage in the python-cfg-diag package itself; would it be a good idea to upload a new Debian revision with `Breaks: remrun < 0.2.3`?
If python-cfg-diag indeed breaks remrun, that's the best. It will also prevent issues during (partial) upgrades.
For info, if the breakage is only in tests (or in weird cornercases) and the maintainers think that it's too much to add a Breaks, contacting the Release Team can help to trigger packages together, such that the test passes and they can migrate (together). We prefer maintainers handle it themselves obviously.
