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.

Regards
Graham
