If I look at this package I understand the latest 4.5.4 is indeed non migratable. But there is a 4.5.3 version in testing, which would be perfectly sufficient for sight to build and run.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yes. This. opencv is blocked from migrating hene stalling sight migration too.
See [1,2]
There is also a RC bug against opencv preventing migration, which has been fixed, but in experimental.
So that needs to be uploaded to unstable too.
