Right. For anyone looking to fix this, the right place to look at is
distro_tracker/stdver_warnings/tracker_tasks.py

One way to fix this would be to look package.main_entry and see if the
associated repository is the default repository and generate the action
item only in this case.

Ideally a corresponding unit test would be added in
distro_tracker/stdver_warnings/tests.py.

Cheers,

Bug#904694: tracker.debian.org: don't complain about outdated S-V for packages only in <= stable

[Adam D. Barratt]

Package: tracker.debian.org

Hi,

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/postgresql-9.6 reports both that the
package is "not in any development repository", and that "[t]he package
is severely out of date with respect to the Debian Policy".

It seems silly (and apparently confusing to at least some users) to
complain about the outdated S-V for a package that only exists in
(old)stable, where the package won't be tracking updates to Policy.

Regards,

Adam
