Let's do it this way. That has the 2nd advantage, that libfso-glib1
should be migrated to testing at that time.

Packages must be uploaded 10 days before the freeze, so that they are mirgrated
from unstable to testing. This assumes, that everything works as expected. An
example for delaying things is bumping the ABI version of libraries, since that
means a rebuild of all involved packages (an they must migrate to testing
together!).
