Bug Description
On every postgres MRE we mention some regular failing tests.
Those were mostly caused by changes in the environment and fixes were done for later Ubuntu releases but not SRUable.
We should not ask the release team to force them on every SRU but cover those where it is correct with badtest entries.
So this is about collecting this information and adapting hints for britney accordingly.
Due to changes from lxc -> lxd (documented by pitti and carried on since then)
- trusty
- postgresql-
- Xenial
- postgresql-
- mimeo/armhf
FYI - there are also some long term always fail cases.
Often had just 1-2 good runs on old pgsql versions and hen never again - resolved in latter releases. Those packages are in universe only and are already covered by hints.
- Xenial
- pgfincore, see [1]
- orafce, see [2]
- postgresql-plproxy, see [3]
- pgpool2, since pgpool2/3.4.3-1 see [4] as an example
Some others are known flaky tests are there as well, but I don't want to overrid all those to keep their coverage.
E.g. dbconfig-common failed on artful due to mysql (but one can see in the log postgres is good which for this update is the important part).
But for those above that are due to the LXC/LXD change there is no reason to bump it on every MRE.
It won't change - so lets propose them unversioned to not need this over and over again.

Linked two MPs which - if merged - will eliminate the ususal suspects and leave the actual real cases for discussion on each MRE/SRU activity.
