This is not a regression in any stable releases, failing tests is not a
problem at all. As release and SRU processes only consider regressions
(previously passed, now failing). Things that have always failed are
treated as such by proposed-updates and the rest of the tooling ("always
failed"). This is exactly the same as FTBFS - only regressions count,
and we have many packages that have never built on certain arches.

SRU policy, Section 2 "When", has three major categories listing in
bullet points cases that are eligible for SRU.

Which one is this SRU submitted under?

Bug description:
  [impact]

  gpgv-win32 autopkgtest always fails

  [test case]

  check http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/g/gnupg2

  or run autopkgtest manually

  note the gpgv-win32 test is skipped on ppc64el and s390x for b/c, and
  has been removed from d/t/control entirely in d

  [regression potential]

  little to none; this affects the test case only

  [other info]

  as mentioned, in disco, the gpgv-win32 test has been removed from the
  tests/control completely.  not sure if that is a better approach than
  fixing the test case.  For now, I marked this Fix Released for disco
  since it doesn't fail there (since the testcase was removed).
