The easiest way to do the latter:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/r-base
∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for r-cran-bit64/4.6.0-1-4: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, i386: Regression ♻ (reference ♻), ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Pass

Clicking on the recycle symbol ♻ after "reference" goes to a page with
a Retry button for the migration reference test.
