For trixie, could you just hint promod3 back into testing?

The britney dependency check for binary-all packages is only done on 
amd64 and arm64 exactly for the reason that it is quite normal that
binary-all packages are not installable on all architectures.

If the release team wants all such packages in the archive converted 
from binary-all to binary-any that's doable, but it's a bit late for
an MBF of RC bugs for trixie.
