[Bug 1686064] Change of SRU verification policy

[Łukasz Zemczak]

As part of a recent change in the Stable Release Update verification
policy we would like to inform that for a bug to be considered verified
for a given release a verification-done-$RELEASE tag needs to be added
to the bug where $RELEASE is the name of the series the package that was
tested (e.g. verification-done-xenial). Please note that the global
'verification-done' tag can no longer be used for this purpose.

Thank you!

Title:
  sbuild ADT test can only pass in devel series

Status in sbuild package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in sbuild source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in sbuild source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * sbuild adt tests assume that the test is running on the host, which
  is the current devel series, which is not the case when adt tests are
  running as part of SRU regression testing.

  [Test Case]

   * ADT test should pass

  [Regression Potential]

   * sbuild itself is not modified, only the autopkgtest themself are
  fixed to not make unrealistic assumptions

  [Other Info]
   
   * Original bug report / problem description

  src:sbuild has test build-procenv which can only pass in devel series,
  as it assumes that the release test is running is the devel series.

  This was true, until we started to run adt tests for stable releases
  and SRUs.

  Here is the detailed log of running build-procenv on xenial, whilst
  devel series is called artful:

  # ADTTMP=$(mktemp -d) sh -x debian/tests/build-procenv
  + set -e
  + pkg=procenv
  + components=
  + lsb_release -is
  + tr [A-Z] [a-z]
  + distro=ubuntu
  + [ -z ubuntu ]
  + lsb_release -cs

  + [ -z xenial ]
  + [ ubuntu = ubuntu ]
  + distro-info --devel
  + release=artful
  + components=main,universe
  + dpkg --print-architecture

  + dpkg --print-architecture

  + chroot=artful-amd64-sbuild
  + schroot -l
  + schroots=
  + [ -n  ]
  + [ -z  ]
  + apt-config shell http_proxy Acquire::http::Proxy
  + RES=
  + eval
  + export http_proxy
  + echo INFO: using proxy: (none)
  INFO: using proxy: (none)
  + echo INFO: Downloading source for package 'procenv' from release 'artful'
  INFO: Downloading source for package 'procenv' from release 'artful'
  + apt-get source --download-only -o APT::Sandbox::User=root procenv/artful
  Reading package lists... Done
  E: Unable to find a source package for procenv

  There are a couple of options here depending what we want to test. We
  can either build procenv from $current on $current release -> this
  will test that e.g. SRUs in xenial, do not break building packages for
  xenial on xenial.

  Or we can try to always build procenv from $devel in $devel chroot ->
  this will test that all currently supported releases, can build
  packages for $devel series.
