Whether the package in testing satisfies the transition properties as
they are defined for sid.
At the initial setup of a transition I would expect that everything
starts with bad/unknown/sid-only which turns into good/unknown/sid-only
once the full transition migrates - except in a few cases where
something is forcefully hinted intentionally breaking something (like
the 99% complete "almost finished" transitions) or something weird
happened (as for hypre, see #729214).
Thinking about libopenmpi1.6 there might be more cases where packagea
are initially "good".
But packages that are "bad" in jessie usually indicate "this blocks the
removal of something obsolete".
