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?

Thanks,
Andrew McMillan
