Hi, I've added some code last week to follow Adrian's suggestion and so today we get our first one:
https://dfsg-new-queue.debian.org/dashboard/binary Is this correctly identifying a transition? How severe is a "drops 1 rdep?" - is it the right threshold? Or do I need to add that "dropped binary is now in Provides" check here, and we'll wait for the next one to trip it?
