Title:
  [MIR] retry

Status in retry package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Availability]
  The package `retry` is already in Ubuntu universe.
  The package `retry` build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
  It currently builds and works for architectures: any
  Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/retry

  [Rationale]
  This package is required in ubuntu/main as it is a dependency for `autopkgtest`, which is already in main (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autopkgtest).
  Also, this package only consist of a single binary produced from less than 700 lines of quite clear modern C, including error handling and built-in usage (--help).
  It basically eases creating retry loop in scripts, with non trivial features such as variable delay between retries, and stdout/stderr handling.

  [Security]
  - No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
  - no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
  - no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
  - Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
  - Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
  - Package does not expose any external endpoints
  - Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software

  [Quality assurance - function/usage]
  - The package works well right after install

  [Quality assurance - maintenance]
  - The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream and does
    not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs
    - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/retry/+bug
    - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=retry
    - Upstream's bug tracker, e.g., GitHub Issues: https://github.com/minfrin/retry/issues
  - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

  [Quality assurance - testing]

  - The package does not run a test at build time because there is no test suite
    in the upstream repository.
  - The package runs a non-trivial autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
    all architectures, link to test logs: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/retry
  - The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now

  [Quality assurance - packaging]
  - debian/watch is present and works
  - debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
  - This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
  - https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=retry&arch=arm64&ver=1.0.5-3&stamp=1674427627&raw=1
  - `lintian --pedantic` doesn't yield anything
  - This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
  - The package will not be installed by default
  - Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/retry/tree/debian/rules?h=applied/1.0.5-3&id=30ac5a739df4896a8094615af83ecb9962806f9e

  [UI standards]

  [Dependencies]

  - This does not use vendored code
  - This package is not rust based
  - The package has been built within the last 3 months in PPA
