No binary maintainer uploads for bullseye
=========================================
The release of buster also means the bullseye release cycle is about to begin.
From now on, we will no longer allow binaries uploaded by maintainers to
migrate to testing. This means that you will need to do source-only uploads if
you want them to reach bullseye.
I support this move in principle, but:
Q: I already did a binary upload, do I need to do a new (source-only) upload?
A: Yes (preferably with other changes, not just a version bump).
Q: I needed to do a binary upload because my upload went to the NEW queue,
do I need to do a new (source-only) upload for it to reach bullseye?
A: Yes. We also suggest going through NEW in experimental instead of unstable
where possible, to avoid disruption in unstable.

This is not going to fly for src:linux. We can't stage ABI bumps in
experimental as we typically have a different upstream versions in
unstable and experimental. We even need to do ABI bumps in stable from
time to time.
