testing migrations

excuses:
- Migration status for manpages (6.17-3 to 6.17-4): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 4 of 5 days old
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/m/manpages.html
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on amd64
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on arm64
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on armhf
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on i386
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on ppc64el
- Not considered
