Hello,

I was wondering why the nvidia-cuda-toolkit transition wasn't
happening.  The QA page for nvidia-cuda-toolkit or one of its rev-dep,
starpu-contrib, would only show "Valid candidate".  It happens that it
doesn't migrate because the starpu-contrib rev-dep, already binNMUed, is
actually waiting for gcc-4.8 to migrate, and this issue doesn't shows up
on the QA page, only in the grep-excuses output:

starpu-contrib/i386 (1.1.3+dfsg-2 to 1.1.3+dfsg-2)
...
    Updated binary: libstarpu-contrib-1.1-7 (1.1.3+dfsg-2 to 1.1.3+dfsg-2+b1)
...
    Invalidated by dependency
    Not considered
    Depends: starpu-contrib/i386 gcc-4.8 (not considered)

Could QA be made to show this kind of excuse too?
