testing migrations

This package is part of the ongoing testing transition known as auto-glew. Please avoid uploads unrelated to this transition, they would likely delay it and require supplementary work from the release managers. On the other hand, if your package has problems preventing it to migrate to testing, please fix them as soon as possible. You can probably find supplementary information in the debian-release archives or in the corresponding release.debian.org bug.
excuses:
- Migration status for glew (2.2.0-4 to 2.3.1+dfsg2-5): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for asymptote/3.09+ds-1: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, i386: Test triggered, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Test triggered, s390x: Test triggered
