Sorry, I have used misleading words: I should have wrote "copy" instead of
"migrate".
What I meant is: the developer tests the package on his own computer as
throuroughly as if he built it, and then decides to copy from suite to suite
instead of build and upload a backport. I am not proposing an automated
migration like the one from unstable to testing.
