That is because the Python 3 version of calibre failed to build on two
architectures (arm64, mipsel), so calibre in testing still uses Python 2,
so some packages which dropped Python 2 support (like pyqt5webengine)
cannot migrate to testing.

I think on February 16th calibre will be auto-removed from testing, and
after that all those packages will be able to migrate. In the worst case,
they will be removed for a short time but then will migrate anyway (but now
that we have some activity on this bug, I don't think that will be the case
for pyqt5webengine).
