Yes. Jonathan said "remove it from sid", and that's what he meant. adsb@franck:~$ dak ls s3ql -s unstable s3ql | 2.13+dfsg-1 | unstable | source, armhf s3ql | 2.13+dfsg-2 | unstable | source, amd64, arm64, armel, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x If you want the package to migrate, the out-of-date armhf binary needs to not be in unstable - either because you've asked ftp-master to remove it, or because the package builds on armhf again.
