The experimental pseudo-excuses pages are showing many tests as "Test
triggered", days after these tests were actually finished and had
results on ci.debian.net.

I first noticed this on
https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?experimental=1&package=pandas , where
all the amd64 tests were actually finished by the time I used them to
write https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1141694#10 but
many of them still show "Test triggered" now, nearly 3 days later.
However, it's probably broader than just that one package:
https://release.debian.org/britney/pseudo-excuses-experimental.html
currently has over 1000 "amd64: Test triggered", though it was generated
at a time when
https://ci.debian.net/munin/debian.net/ci-master.debian.net/debci_queue_size.html
says the amd64 queue was essentially empty.

This can affect both tests that actually succeeded and tests that
actually failed.  Affected pages are not totally frozen: they can update
to show tests of a newly uploaded version, e.g.
pymatgen-core/2026.4.7+dfsg1-7 on the pandas page.

It *probably* doesn't affect the main unstable-to-testing excuses:
https://release.debian.org/britney/update_excuses.html has only 20
"amd64: Test triggered".
