Discussing this before we started the transition with pochu, he indicated "b" 
was the preferred RT option.  I did try and binNMU it again to make sure and 
as expected, it failed, so these packages will need to be removed from 
testing.

Both these magically fixed themselves, so are no longer an issue.

This will need removal.

python3.5 has been fixed.  We're still waiting for the fixed python3.5 to build 
on mips and a few ports archs, but the binNMUs of borgbackup and s3ql have 
otherwise been successful.  With a little more buildd time, I expect these 
issues will be fully resolved.

LO is mostly rebuilt, but depending on which builder and when it's picked up 
for mips, it may take long enough to delay things a bit.

There are a few other builds I'm waiting on to finish, but everything's been 
uploaded/scheduled so modulo the issues above, we should be finished this week.
