testing migrations

excuses:
- Migration status for python-escript (- to 6.1.1-3): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Updating python-escript would introduce bugs in testing: #1152985

- ∙ ∙ Missing build on riscv64
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest deferred on riscv64: missing arch:riscv64 build
- ∙ ∙ Lintian check waiting for test results on riscv64 - info
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/p/python-escript.html
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on amd64 - info
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on arm64 - info
