It means that swi-prolog/7.2.3+dfsg-6 cannot migrate until the removal
of the mips binaries built by swi-prolog/7.2.3+dfsg-5 (note the version
difference).  This is what #855004 is about.

The FTP masters have requested that you deal with the reverse
dependencies of the swi-prolog/7.2.3+dfsg-5 on mips.  This can be
"remove them from mips as well" or ask them to disable their
"swi-prolog" support on mips (either way should work).

Preferably, this is dealt with before swi-prolog is auto-removed from
testing.  If so, swi-prolog/7.2.3+dfsg-6 will migrate to testing and the
RC bug will be closed (in testing).

Hope that clarified it for you. Otherwise, let us know what you don't
understand.

Thanks,
