Migration status for nfsometer (1.9-3.1 to 1.9-4): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
Issues preventing migration:
∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for nfsometer/1.9-4: amd64: Failed ♻, arm64: Failed ♻, armhf: Failed ♻, i386: Failed ♻, loong64: Failed ♻, ppc64el: Failed ♻, riscv64: Failed ♻, s390x: Failed ♻

 96s autopkgtest [09:25:40]: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ summary
 96s imports              PASS
 96s run-help             FAIL non-zero exit status 1


It is an upstream bug in nfsometerlib/options.py that OTYPE_HELP
results in usage() being called which returns 1.


BTW: The needs-root restrictions seems unnecessary.

BTW2: Instead of the Python wrapper I would have used the simpler
  Test-Command: nfsometer --help
  Depends: nfsometer
  Restrictions: allow-stderr
but there's nothing wrong with using a wrapper.

This also seems to *need* a 'superficial' restriction.
