testing migrations

excuses:
- Migration status for coreutils (9.10-1 to 9.12-0.3): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for borgbackup2/2.0.0b25-4: amd64: Test triggered (failure will be ignored), arm64: Test triggered (failure will be ignored), armhf: Pass, i386: Pass, loong64: Regression ♻ (reference ♻), ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass

- ∙ ∙ Missing build on riscv64
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest deferred on riscv64: missing arch:riscv64 build
- ∙ ∙ Lintian check waiting for test results on riscv64 - info
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 3 of 5 days old
