Bug Description
phpunit has been in plucky-proposed for 32 days now, and has a handful of reverse dependencies waiting for it to migrate (this list is not clearly stated by Britney.)
All of these packages have been removed from Debian Testing. I have attached all of the relevant RC bugs. There seems to be two options here, please proceed with the preferable option:
- Ask the Release Team to explicitly skiptest phpunit so it migrates, regressing all these packages in the release pocket.
- Ask the Archive Administrators to demote all of these packages to proposed, which allows phpunit to migrate, but might allow some or all of the demoted packages to re-migrate if the block-proposed tag is not set on this bug.
Please only mark phpunit as Fix Release once it's migrated.
Thank you in advance.

NACK from ubuntu-release, we don't want to regress these packages in the release, they should be removed instead.
> Ask the Archive Administrators to demote all of these packages to proposed, which allows phpunit to migrate, but might allow some or all of the demoted packages to re-migrate if the block-proposed tag is not set on this bug.
I think these packages should just be removed from plucky altogether.
Why do we want broken packages hanging around in -proposed?
Please also paste your analysis of the reverse- dependencies of the packages to be removed in this bug, see:
