testing migrations

excuses:
- Migration status for grass (8.4.1-1 to 8.4.2-1): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for gdal-grass/2.0.0-1: amd64: Regression ♻ (reference ♻), arm64: Regression ♻ (reference ♻), i386: Test triggered, ppc64el: Regression ♻ (reference ♻), riscv64: Test triggered
- ∙ ∙ Missing build on s390x
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest deferred on s390x: missing arch:s390x build
- ∙ ∙ Lintian check waiting for test results on riscv64, s390x, i386 - info
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 0 of 5 days old
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/g/grass.html
- ∙ ∙ Ignoring non-reproducibility on amd64 (not a regression) - info ♻
- ∙ ∙ Ignoring non-reproducibility on arm64 (not a regression) - info ♻
- Not considered
