Public bug reported:

Spun-off from LP: #2059978.

There are cases there tests are triggered for packages that build no
binary packages on a given architecture. The concrete case [1] is tgt on
armhf, which has no binary package in oracular:

$ rmadison --suite oracular -S tgt
 tgt | 1:1.0.85-1.1ubuntu6 | oracular/universe | source, amd64, arm64, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
 tgt-glusterfs | 1:1.0.85-1.1ubuntu6 | oracular/universe | amd64, arm64, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
 tgt-rbd | 1:1.0.85-1.1ubuntu6 | oracular/universe | amd64, arm64, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x

and therefore the test fails. This counts as a regression because in the
past we did have a binary package:

$ rmadison --suite mantic -S tgt
 tgt | 1:1.0.85-1ubuntu1 | mantic/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
 tgt-glusterfs | 1:1.0.85-1ubuntu1 | mantic/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
 tgt-rbd | 1:1.0.85-1ubuntu1 | mantic/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x

and tests did pass on armhf. Autopkgtest expects that bin:tgt exists
because it checks:

$ apt-cache showsrc --only-source tg
Package: tgt
[...]
Package-List:
 tgt deb net optional arch=linux-any
 tgt-glusterfs deb net optional arch=amd64,arm64,ppc64el,ppc64,riscv64,mips64el,s390x,ia64,sparc64
 tgt-rbd deb net optional arch=amd64,arm64,ppc64el,ppc64,riscv64,mips64el,s390x,ia64,sparc64

and tgt has arch=linux-any.

So this is likely a britney bug.

On tgt: hinting seems appropriate.
