It migrated in the meanwhile.

Steve managed to fix debian-cd in a few minutes/hours, so that shouldn't

Besides partman-efi (uploaded today to drop armhf), brltty (stuck
because of llvm/clang issues), and the CJK issue (#762057), I don't
think I'm going to merge more things, so I've just frozen udebs.
