    db-move: also block moving package from staging to extra without handling testing
    
    Don't allow anomalous testing packages floating around after a rebuild
    which are older than stable.

    db-update: die when trying to update a package without updating a pending rebuild
    
    A semi-common pattern is for one maintainer to stage a rebuild of a
    package due to e.g. cascading repository-wide python/boost/whatever
    rebuilds, and then for the original maintainer of the package to not
    notice and update the package in the stable repo, leaving an out of date
    rebuild in staging or testing.
    
    Then the the out of date package gets moved and ends up breaking things,
    possibly via a package downgrade, possibly via breaking compatibility
    with a much more targeted rebuild uploaded all at once. Ultimately,
    Things Happen™ and the repository hierarchy gets broken.
    
    Prevent this by enforcing for all packages that exist in
    multiple levels of the repo: staging -> testing -> stable
    
    That updates to one must come with an update to all the others.

    testing2x: be more generic and accept multiple testing repos
    
    Currently multilib is a second-class citizen the way it is lumped into
    community, and dbscripts cannot even keep track of whether it
    constitutes a testing repo. Teach config to track both testing and
    staging repos just like the stable ones, and teach testing2x to search
    through TESTING_REPOS to determine which one it is operating on.
