Reasoning:
Debian 8 Jessie has still (external) ELTS until 2022. But
debian-internal LTS has ended and it will likely vanish from the
normal mirrors soon. And it is already available in the archive. (And
some architectures are already only available in the archive.)
Also mention marking Debian 7 Wheezy as EoL in NEWS.markdown. (Was
already mentioned in debian/changelog.)
Any tag ending in ".gpg" will be considered to be the according
keyring file in /usr/share/keyrings/. This is at least needed for some
Ubuntu releases which were eol'ed in the past few years, especially
because Ubuntu split up their keyrings much more finegrained than just
"archive" and "archive-removed-keys".
* Don't abort on first failure, but log it and print a summary at the
end.
* Allow to choose which distributions to test via environment variable
$DISTRIBUTIONS.
* Don't overwrite log files from previous runs. Add a time stamp to
the log file name instead.
Since Ubuntu 17.10 Artful, Ubuntu has decided to use netplan instead
of ifupdown.
40-setup-networking-deb-netplan has been contributed by Arno and Peter.

Since we have to make a variant of hooks/karmic/ as hook/artful/,
rename hooks/karmic/80-install-kernel (which previously was unique to
hooks/karmic/) to hooks/common/80-install-kernel-ubuntu and add
symlinks to it from hooks/karmic/ and hook/artful/.
If an "lvremove" is immediately followed by an "lvcreate" for an LV
with the same name, "mkswap" (and maybe other commands) occasionally
fail with "Device or resource busy".
Work around it by using sync and sleep.
Mark buster and bullseye as not testable, too, for now.
Move comment about #659360 (debootstrap cannot build Ubuntu Edgy or
earlier) from release-testing to distributions.conf, too.
