In general, it is the state of a package's autopkgtests in the testing suite that governs this. e.g. r-cran-bayestestr is red [1] and r-cran-bit64 is green [2] (as of 2025-11-08 09:13:11 UTC) One way to reset the state is to trigger the autopkgtests with the fake 'migration-reference/0' package. If the autopkgtest is already failing in testing and the 'migration-reference/0' result turns red, then migration will no longer be blocked.
