We currently have excuses.html saying:
x264 (2:0.155.2917+git0a84d98-2 to 2:0.159.2999+git296494a-2)
Migration status for x264 (2:0.155.2917+git0a84d98-2 to 2:0.159.2999+git296494a-2): BLOCKED: Cannot migrate due to another item, which is blocked (please check which dependencies are stuck)
Issues preventing migration:
Implicit dependency: x264 nageru (not considered)
Invalidated by implicit-dependency
Implicit dependency: x264 ffmpeg
Implicit dependency: x264 gst-plugins-ugly1.0
Implicit dependency: x264 handbrake
Implicit dependency: x264 libquicktime

Apart from `nageru` it's not clear here that some further packages need
working on to move this migration forward. In fact, the package
`gst-plugins-ugly1.0` is FTBFS
Migration status for gst-plugins-ugly1.0 (1.16.2-2build2 to
1.16.2-2build3): BLOCKED: Maybe temporary, maybe blocked but Britney
is missing information (check below)
as is xpra. The remaining packages are simply those which are part of
this SONAME transition, as such they have
Migration status for mplayer (2:1.3.0-8build6 to 2:1.3.0-8build7):
BLOCKED: Cannot migrate due to another item, which is blocked (please
check which dependencies are stuck)
All of these excuses are (or should be) "invalid", but only the ones
which are not BLOCKED_BY_ANOTHER_ITEM require direct action. We should
show this, so that maintainers can see what they need to concentrate on.
When outputting depdencency problems, consider the policy verdict of the
excuse. If it's one that indicates further work is required for that
excuse, indicate this by outputting "(not considered)".
