Control: reopen -1
Control: retitle -1 britney recursive installability test in autopkgtest

Hi Yadd,

For those we have unblock requests and the normal process to get 
packages into testing during the freeze. The autopkgtest process wasn't 
designed to change that.

Why *build* dependencies?

britney takes dependencies into account and doesn't schedule the jobs if 
all binaries are uninstallable. However, looking at your example, there 
might be an issue that it doesn't resolve that recursively during the 
policy phase of britney. (There's also a problem for britney that 
involves source packages that build both arch:all and arch:any binaries, 
which it fundamentally can't always resolve correctly, I thought we were 
in that case here). Let's see if I can come up with a reproducer in our 
test suite.

Again, what do build dependencies have to do with the problem? If they 
don't need nodejs to run, they shouldn't have a dependency on them and 
everything is fine. You'll recall that I recently stripped the unneeded 
nodejs dependency from all node-d3-* packages. Now they are installable 
on armel.
