So, this would be a bug, if that's actually what happened, because
6.4+20240330 is definitely greater than 6.4 (under the "if all 
comparison chunks are equal, the string with any suffix remaining is the 
greater" clause of the comparison rule).

What actually seems to have happened is that 6.4+20240330 was still
marked as 'test', and so removed by the "packages labelled test: are
expired when a superseding non-test version exists" logic.

(Yeah, calm should probably be a bit more verbose about the reasons why
it's vaulting things in the report)

Sure, I'll do that.

Do you want me to remove the test label from 6.4+20240330, or turn on
keep-superseded-test for this package?
