Yes, because...

Actually, I'm not sure that it was. The excuses for the run during which 
it migrated has:

<li>old binaries left on <a 
href="http://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?arch=amd64&pkg=linux-tools&ver=4.4-4" 
target="_blank">amd64</a>: liblockdep4.3, linux-kbuild-4.3, 
linux-perf-4.3 (from <a 
href="http://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?arch=amd64&pkg=linux-tools&ver=4.3.1-2" 
target="_blank">4.3.1-2</a>) (but ignoring cruft, so nevermind)
<li>old binaries left on <a 
href="http://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?arch=i386&pkg=linux-tools&ver=4.4-4" 
target="_blank">i386</a>: liblockdep4.3, linux-kbuild-4.3, 
linux-perf-4.3 (from <a 
href="http://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?arch=i386&pkg=linux-tools&ver=4.3.1-2" 
target="_blank">4.3.1-2</a>) (but ignoring cruft, so nevermind)
<li>old binaries left on <a 
href="http://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?arch=arm64&pkg=linux-tools&ver=4.4-4" 
target="_blank">arm64</a>: liblockdep4.3, linux-kbuild-4.3, 
linux-perf-4.3 (from <a 
href="http://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?arch=arm64&pkg=linux-tools&ver=4.3.1-2" 
target="_blank">4.3.1-2</a>) (but ignoring cruft, so nevermind)

and so on. So the new version was migrated at the start of the run, and 
then she tried to remove the cruft at the end (and is still trying, in 
fact).

It was all automatic. britney only requires that arch:all packages are 
installable on i386 and amd64. At the end of the britney run during 
which linux-tools migrated, the old binary packages from each of the 
other architectures were removed as doing so did not create any new 
uninstallability so far as britney was concerned.
