testing migrations

This package will soon be part of the auto-openssl transition. You might want to ensure that your package is ready for it. You can probably find supplementary information in the debian-release archives or in the corresponding release.debian.org bug.
excuses:
- Migration status for virtualbox (- to 7.2.22-dfsg-2): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Updating virtualbox would introduce bugs in testing: #794466
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for virtualbox/7.2.22-dfsg-2: amd64: No tests, superficial or marked flaky ♻, i386: Test triggered
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 1 of 5 days old
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts can't test virtualbox (not a blocker) - (no link yet)
- Not considered
