I got vaguely positive feedback from Paul Gevers on this date. Hence, I
plan to upload after the June 5th mirror push and allocate time for
handling unexpected fallout.

dash, base-files and bash are fully migrated at the time of this
writing. glibc migrated -11 and -12 still has 5 autopkgtest regressions.
util-linux migrated -6, -7 has a piuparts regression and -8 hopefully
gets tested soon. I hope that both migrate before the planned upload and
will consult with the release team on whether to bump back or go ahead.

I have rebased and retested the patches in
https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/bootstrap-usrmerge-demo.

Andrew, Aurelien, Chris, Matthias, Santiago: Any objections?

You may send me signed uploads (.dsc + source chanages) and I will
otherwise move ahead with regular NMUs. If you send signed changes, I
recommend encrypting them using my gpg key.
