Could you please add something.
To enable the migration even if either amd64 or i386 architecture
is missing for one of the dependencies please
[ ] file a bug against release.debian.org
[ ] send an e-mail to debian-release.debian.org
(whatever might be prefered).
Thanks to all members of the release team
Andreas.
