Hi,

This is intentional, otherwise if a regression was introduced in those
packages that breaks iproute2's autopkgtest, it would not be picked in
unstable, and would start failing iproute2's autopkgtest _after_ they
migrate, instead of _before_, which is the point of debci.

With a quick glance at the results, these tests have always succeeded
since they were enabled in debci.

Could you please clarify what do you mean by "entangling"? What problem
are you observing, precisely?
