I wonder what (the deprecated) Restrictions: skip-not-installable
would do for a test dependency that is in unstable but not in testing.
I guess it wouldn't work.


It would feature that the test with the test dependency on sssd is skipped when a migration-reference/0 is executed and is actually run when a test runs to check regressions. If the test with sssd starts to fail (e.g. because sssd has issues), than every package that triggers a test of gdm3 will get "blamed". If sssd becomes not-installable together with gdm3 (e.g. because of a Breaks), the test gets skipped again.

So, it would work in the current situation, but it would hide future issues with installability. As a *temporary*, I think it's an option that's not insane.
