these are probably all fine...

while I quite a lot dislike to rename suites in piuparts, because that
adds confusion on top of the existing confusion. IMO we should rather
try to get the suites renamed 'upstream'

also you can either grep for "buster-proposed/" or "buster-proposed\ "
instead of "buster-proposed", or?

the meta packages are not yet installed on those hosts, I believe.

nice!

see above, this rename blocked that for me...
