As I wrote in my other mail removing them from testing manually should do the trick as well, IMHO.
Well, I just learned that some/most of these "required" uploads in this transition are not needed because of incompatibility of the package with the new api, but just your tooling being broken (in my opinion). If packages requiring r-api-bioc-* work with the next version, they should just pick up the r-api-bioc-* version when they are rebuild, like we do with nearly all other ecosystem in Debian. Only packages that don't work need an upload.
If all it takes is this; https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/r-bioc-mofa/-/blob/7b010dcd1947e2b8b26da3ab49b957715cb83b5c/debian/patches/bioc-3.15.patchto get the package working with the fresh bioconducter, that really shouldn't need manual changes and should be able to be picked up automatically.
@tille, removals are work for *us*, they are not free lunch. Please fix the package that prevent migration.
PaulPS: for every transition we ask packages that need to go through NEW to be prepared in experimental such that during the transition, we don't need to wait for it.
