testing migrations

excuses:
- Too young, only 0 of 2 days old
- missing build on amd64: ghostscript, ghostscript-dbg, ghostscript-x, libgs-dev, libgs9 (from 9.25~dfsg-3)
- missing build on i386: ghostscript, ghostscript-dbg, ghostscript-x, libgs-dev, libgs9 (from 9.25~dfsg-3)
- missing build on mips64el: ghostscript, ghostscript-dbg, ghostscript-x, libgs-dev, libgs9 (from 9.25~dfsg-3)
- old binaries left on all: ghostscript-doc, libgs9-common (from 9.25~dfsg-3) (but ignoring cruft, so nevermind)
- Updating ghostscript fixes old bugs: #910678, #910758, #911175
- Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/g/ghostscript.html
- arch:amd64 not built yet, autopkgtest delayed there
- Not considered
