Thank you, I'll do that. But I'm still concerned about a couple of issues
this raises:

That admonition appears to conflict with a different policy I'd learned:

The package upload should include a built binary package, to demonstrate
that it *can* build and to lower the incidence of uploads that are destined
to fail to build from source.

Has that policy been rescinded? If not, how is it compatible with the
advice you cited?

Oh, I had interpreted that differently: that the binary packages would not
migrate, but that the source package would be re-built and *that* would
migrate to testing.

You mentioned that the build daemons do not build “Architecture: all”
packages? Is that a temporary fault, or is it intentional?

Thank you again, I hope to understand better if you can also answer the
questions above.
