I encountered this kind of piuparts failure for a late package upload to 
unstable:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ibus-pinyin

It was unblocked by a release team member, but migration to bookworm is 
prevented by that piuparts regression.

Will the required piuparts changes happen very soon, or is there 
otherwise a way to ignore piuparts for this upload so it will migrate?
