Indeed, linux{,-signed-{amd64,arm64}} migrated.

I'm trying to see if I can get everything lined up for an upload that
would have a chance to migrate, which I think would be enough to unblock
Steve on the shim* front.

We'll need at least #1081698 addressed (or someone from the release team
happy to force debian-installer into testing despite the missing build).

I don't want to disrupt anything else going on, and I don't plan on
getting a d-i release out alongside that upload, so I'm not freezing
udeb-producing packages; hopefully, if the build situation is under
control, an `urgent` hint on my side should give debian-installer a
decent chance to migrate.

If Steve confirms having src:debian-installer into testing is sufficient
for the shim* fun, feel free to upload src:linux as soon as you spot the
migration. I'll try and keep an eye out and ping you once that happens,
though.

At this point, I don't think so. Once we know whether the proposed
approach works for armel, we should be ready for i386 (see other
thread).

Alright, thanks for the information.
