Thanks to the release team for approving the migration of loong64 to the
official archive.
Ok, thanks for your reminder.
Migrating loong64 from unofficial to official archive requires
communication with ftpmaster.
We will continue to cooperate positively with the ftpmaster team, the
DSA team and the release team.

About packages in -ureleased, Paul Gevers also discussed with me a week ago.
I have analyzed that there are currently 12 unreleased source packages,
which does not affect the generated rootfs file system (only use
unstable suite).
All of the 12 unreleased source packages include 4 categories,
- history version
gcc-12.
- "Failed" status
numba
- "Uploader" or "Installed" status
cppunit,libfm.
- support for loongarch64
* open PR in upstream
ode(leaf package), linuxlogo(leaf package), rust-cty(maintainer said
this is no longer necessary).
* be supported in upstream
libguestfs,rust-generator,rust-criterion-cycles-per-byte.
* be supported in debian
btllib,haskell-pandoc-lua-engine.
The specific situation is as follows,
1. Source: btllib
The support for loong64 was merged in git.
Please check
https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/btllib/-/blob/master/debian/changelog?ref_type=heads.
2. Source: cppunit
cppunit was built for loong64 in Debian Buildd, now the status is marked
as "Uploader".
Please check
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=cppunit&suite=sid.
3. Source: gcc-12
gcc-12 source package was uploaded when initialized the Debian Ports
archive.
It is now replaced by gcc-13 / gcc-14 in the unstable suite.
Please check

4. Source: haskell-pandoc-lua-engine

Now the status is marked as "BD-Uninstallable".
5. Source: libfm
