Bug#831699: release.debian.org: urgency is sticky across dists - low urgency on sid upload ignored after previous experimental medium-urgency upload

Hello,

I have been wondering why hugin 2016.2.0~rc1+dfsg-2 (urgency=low) will
be considered for testing migration after only 5 days and I think I found
the reason.

Testing has 2016.0.0+dfsg-1, which was followed by
[2016-07-16] 2016.2.0~rc1+dfsg-2 in unstable (low)
[2016-07-11] 2016.2.0~rc1+dfsg-1 in experimental (low)
[2016-06-04] 2016.2.0~beta1+dfsg-1 in experimental (medium)

britney seems to have remembered that 2016.2.0~beta1+dfsg-1 had medium
urgency and chose to consider this urgency for sid->testing migration.

I think that is a bug, especially as dch uses medium by default for
uploads to experimental.
