The VCS repository is not up to date, push the missing commits. high

vcswatch reports that the current version of the package is not in its VCS.
Either you need to push your commits and/or your tags, or the information about the package's VCS are out of date. A common cause of the latter issue when using the Git VCS is not specifying the correct branch when the packaging is not in the default one (remote HEAD branch), which is usually "master" but can be modified in salsa.debian.org in the project's general settings with the "Default Branch" field). Alternatively the Vcs-Git field in debian/control can contain a "-b <branch-name>" suffix to indicate what branch is used for the Debian packaging.

testing migrations

excuses:
- Migration status for libguestfs (1:1.58.1-4 to 1:1.58.1-5): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for diffoscope/317: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Test triggered
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for ironic-python-agent/11.5.0-2: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Test triggered
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for lava/2026.02-3: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, ppc64el: Failed (not a regression) ♻ (reference ♻), riscv64: Pass, s390x: Test triggered
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for libguestfs/1:1.58.1-5: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Test triggered
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for oz/0.17.0-7: amd64: Pass, arm64: No tests, superficial or marked flaky ♻, ppc64el: No tests, superficial or marked flaky ♻, riscv64: No tests, superficial or marked flaky ♻, s390x: Test triggered
- ∙ ∙ Lintian check waiting for test results on riscv64 - info
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 1 of 5 days old
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Updating libguestfs will fix bugs in testing: #1133803
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/libg/libguestfs.html
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest skipped on i386: not installable (which is allowed)
- ∙ ∙ Reproducibility check waiting for results on amd64
- ∙ ∙ Not reproduced on arm64 (not a regression): lua-guestfs
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on armhf
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on i386
