The most important reason for the existence of a a review ticket is to
make sure someone in a trusted group did review a package. If there is
any doubt about the quality of one review the checks should start from
the package that was effectively imported in rawhide, ***NOT*** what
the reviewer declared checking in the review ticket.

In case of doubt the information in the review ticket is just as
likely to be flawed as the package itself, and in the end the package
we ship is the only thing that really matters.

Long check-list cut and pastes where some tests are erroneously pasted
from another review with this other review value are not unknown of.
