In #898329, pochu had to clarify the meaning of "Valid Candidate":

   Just to clarify things: being a valid candidate means britney will
   try to migrate that package to testing. That can still fail (and
   fails in this case) because the package is not installable on i386
   (which is a requirement).

This comes up a lot in various places, I wonder if replacing "Valid
Candidate" with "Trying to migrate" or similar in the excuses output
would help clarify the situation for people. "Not Considered" could be replaced with "Not trying to migrate yet" for a smaller clarification.

Thanks for the review.

I have deployed the changes on respighi.d.o and they should be visible
in ~90 minutes from now on release.debian.org.  After an additional
latency, external services will start to show the change as well.

Thanks,
