The problem that I wanted to fix was that failed.txt is cluttered by
packages that have licenses for which we don't want to make tarballs
for (GPL3, BSD MIT, etc).  I don't think these should be treated as
failures as we expect the script to not make tarballs for them.  I
guess I'll need to come up with a better implementation unless you
want these packages in  failed.txt
