I mean the set of packages that all have to migrate together with r-base (i.e. r-base won't migrate if any of them are broken).
I suspect this may not actually be the same thing as the --pin-packages list passed to autopkgtest, but I'm not sure how to check it.
Things that aren't in testing shouldn't be able to block migration except if they are (build) dependencies for the version in unstable.
The list of pinned packages is a rather greedy. But if they are not dependencies, they shouldn't block.
I think they're not, but how to actually check that is the question.
