Public bug reported: [Availability] The package `retry` is already in Ubuntu universe. The package `retry` build for the architectures it is designed to work on. It currently builds and works for architectures: any Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/retry
[Rationale] This package is required in ubuntu/main as it is a dependency for `autopkgtest`, which is already in main (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autopkgtest). Also, this package only consist of a single binary produced from less than 700 lines of quite clear modern C, including error handling and built-in usage (--help). It basically eases creating retry loop in scripts, with non trivial features such as variable delay between retries, and stdout/stderr handling.
