This is a red herring -- sh isn't a real architecture at the moment -- it
just has arch:all packages, and any of those that dep on an arch:any package
will be uninstallable.

Right -- the testing scripts need some hand holding to cope when multiple
packages have to progress into testing simultaneously. Look for a "recur:
ispell" line -- if there's one, that means "ispell" is getting the hand
holding treatment, and the following "endloop:" line will tell you what
problems still need fixing. There should be such a line when tomorrow's
testing run completes, which'll be in, say, 18 hours from now, probably.

FWIW, last time this was tried one or two of the i<foo> packages
weren't ready to move along (ie, they were listed as "Not considered"
in update_excuses).

RC bugs need to be fixed, not tagged as "sarge, sid, woody". Letting
packages with RC bugs into testing is _never_ a Good Thing, even when
the package already has RC bugs. RC bugs should not be left until an
unspecified later time without _very_ good reason.
