the package arduino-mighty-1284p got fixed about a hour ago by myon.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=981371

For arduino-mk, I reassigned #981300 which was originally opened against
arduino.

That's possible true, but we are down to one package that would get
uninstallable right now.

The package arduino has already that Provides so there must be something
not working correctly then. If arduino-mk is updated we could also drop
that non needed Provides line too.

Any way, looking at the reassigned bug report #981300 there is movement
from Simon John to get the package fixed. So I expect that the potential
uninstall ability will go away soon.

If arduino will migrate automatically, if the one outstanding package
will get fixed, then I'm fine to wait a bit longer.

I see the following info on the tracker site for arduino

So I was assuming that any old all cruft is around and that's why I
created this report here. I also expect arduino will still not migrate
after removing the old all package in unstable due breakage of the
version from arduino-mk in testing.
