However, that's not my reading of https://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals:| The release team can remove source packages - and *all* binaries built from them - from testing. Per-architecture removals from testing are not handled by the Release Managers directly, but rather as a result of the package's state in unstable propagating to testing.
What this is meant to say is that the Release Team doesn't handle per architecture removals; testing follows unstable. So per architecture removals need to be done there.
My understanding / assumption is that at some point in the future, the "auto-decruft" mechanism (cf.> https://people.debian.org/~nthykier/blog/2015/introducing-dak-auto-
decruft.html)
should kick in and remove the remaining msgp binaries with the version 1.2.5-1+b4 from unstable. After that, britney removes them from testing and allows the migration.
Auto-decruft doesn't handle architecture specific removals (I assume patches are welcome). You'll need to file a RM bug against ftp.debian.org (option 3 seems about right) per source package of which binaries need to be removed.
