Please also override the age to 10 though, or remove the block
on Monday / end of Sunday; it's mostly I want to have some
confirmation, not an immediate unblock, I don't believe that
is strictly necessary to migrate precisely now.
I do think this was an unnecessary use of power given that
we did have an RC bug preventing the transition due to the
added error and another one could have been filed instead
if so wished.
For more context: apt 2.7.5 instituted an error on unmerged-usr
systems to prevent people from running into broken maintainer
scripts due to running on unsupported system layouts; apt
2.7.6 turned this into a warning before the Y/n prompt and
a warning at the end of the run so that you can't miss it.
