While inspecting regressions in autopkgtest results¹, I noticed that your package stenographer fails regularly, without obvious changes. As far as I checked, the error is always the same (copied below). Could you please investigate and make your autopkgtest more robust? Please contact me if you need help and you think I can provide that (I am not subscribed to this bug). Recent discussion of gating migration by autopkgtests on debian-devel² noted that if this is going to work, and in particular if we are going to *block* migration when it causes autopkgtest regressions rather than merely delaying it, intermittent autopkgtest failures are likely to have to be considered RC due to their impact on the tested package's dependencies; for now I've filed it as important. Simon McVittie has previously proposed³ a way to mark autopkgtests as unsuitable for gating CI, while still having them available for convenient manual testing (and optionally run, but with their results disregarded, on the real CI infrastructure so that their reliability can be assessed), but this isn't currently possible. If the autopkgtest can't be made reliable then it would make sense to disable it for the moment.
