promotes packages with unbuilt rdepends

[Martin Pitt]

numexpr usually triggers pytables' tests and should be held back on pytables failures. Last night we got a new pytables version which is FTBFS:

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pytables/3.1.1-3build2

This caused numexpr to get accepted in this run:

  http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/log/wily/2015-08-10/21:29:40.log

the excuses from http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses/wily/2015-08-10/21:29:40.html.gz:

numexpr (2.4-1 to 2.4-1build1)
    autopkgtest for numexpr 2.4-1build1: amd64: Always failed, i386: Always failed
    Valid candidate

This should have run the pytables tests.

Apparently rdepends are not being taken into consideration while a package is not built yet.

Reproduced in a test case. This is apparently not a regression, but a rather old bug. The not yet built rdepends (pytables in this report, or lightgreen in the new test case) gets added to "exclusions", thus the test is explicitly skipped. This can also be seen in http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/log/wily/2015-08-10/21:29:40.log where pytables is in "exclusions:".
