Marked but not imported

Example: AssertionError: package 0.5.10-0ubuntu1.3 ubuntu lucid is marked but not imported

This is a sanity check on a branch that we are trying to import. "marked" means that in the past we saw a tag in the packaging branch. (So either the importer itself had imported the revision, or when it went to import the revision it saw the revision was already in the branch.)

The error is stating that at this point, the branch no longer contains this tag, which means something has been modified which we don't understand.
