Comment 7 for bug 1700668

As I am close to enabling autopkgtest results in Debian (albeit in a different form: not as gate, but as an age shifter) this is very relevant for me. In Debian it will happen way more than in Ubuntu that a regression moves into testing and remain there. Thus, for Debian I believe I'll have to be working along the reasoning of Steve.

My idea is that check_ever_passed considers the version of the package in Debian testing/the release pocket, instead of *all* the results in the past. Unless we come up with something better in this bug, I'll probably implement something along those lines.
