Yeah, finally it ended up in my hints file, instead of Luk's.

Not only for i386 and amd64:
% rmadison -s unstable gnomad2
gnomad2 | 2.8.12-2 | unstable | source
gnomad2 | 2.8.12-2+b1 | unstable | alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

It is *necessary* that, for all architectures on which gnomad2 depends
on libmtp5 in testing, there is a binary in unstable (be it a binNMU or
not) which depends on libmtp6 instead.

There is no need for a NMU, because (as seen above) there's no
architecture left with gnomad depending on libmtp5 in unstable.
As for what's missing, in other words, why hasn't the transition
happened already, Philippe was right: amarok is missing a mipsel build.
Which hasn't happened because of an unfortunate series of unsuccessful
tries, due to build-dependencies being uninstallable every time the
package was tried to build.
If what worries you is uploading a new libmtp6 with some other changes,
feel free to do it now, since it's going to take a bit until amarok can
be rebuilt on mipsel.
