This happens when a package wasn't actually released at the time a bug was reported. As rosinstall_generator by default uses releases (not source repositories), this leads to .rosinstall files being empty as no pkgs are found.

We could make the time machine use the "source repository" support in rosinstall_generator in those cases, but that needs to be integrated into the time machine.

To figure out whether that is worth it, here is a list of bugs that need support for rosinstall_generator's source repository functionality in the time machine:

@wasowski @ChrisTimperley @git-afsantos @ipa-jfh: could you please edit the first post here and add additional bugs that need "from source repository" support to have their builds automated and not need the work-around described at the end of #55?
