Hi Paul,

I have no idea, sorry. Recently I upgraded to lintian 2.129.0 and am now
running it into a forky container (instead of as a backport on stable),
but that should not change anything about how results are exposed to
britney.

Also, source-only sources packages (source packages with no binaries
tested yet) are properly reported in
https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/lintian-britney.cgi:

mssstest/3.0-8:
  architectures: source
  tags: {}

According to UDD's lintian_logs table, it never failed to process
textdraw/0.2+ds-2 (see
udd> select * from lintian_logs where source='textdraw' order by ts desc;
)

However, at the time the bug was reported (06:17:48 +0100), UDD hadn't
processed textdraw/0.2+ds-2 yet (it was processed at 06:49:21), but it
looks like this wasn't reached:
https://salsa.debian.org/release-team/britney2/-/blob/master/britney2/policies/lintian.py#L93

The two packages where lintian is reporting a crash in
https://release.debian.org/britney/update_excuses.html are vala-panel
and 0xffff, where lintian indeed crashed (due to #1128262)
