Dear maintainer,

I sometimes retry tests, and I always wonder about what I've just done,
or if what I'm clicking is really the test I'm interested in.

When one goes to e.g.
    (GET) https://ci.debian.net/api/v1/retry/1204710
What one sees is only
    Retry an autopkgtest job
    Once you click the "Retry" button below, an autopkgtest with the same settings as the original will be triggered on the infrastructure.
    <Retry>

I think it would be nice if after that sentence, before the <Retry>
button, there was a description on which test is being retried, for
example:
    source package
    version that was used (might be different in the next test)
    triggers
    architecture
    suite
    ...

See for example what appears after one does a retry of an autopkgtest
on the ubuntu infrastructure, I read e.g.:

| Test request submitted.
|
|triggers
|   ['pylibtiff/0.4.2-2']
|package
|   pylibtiff
|arch
|   amd64
|Result history
|   https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/pylibtiff/disco/amd64
|release
|   disco
|requester
|   mapreri


Thanks for considering.
