The removal of gromacs on the 32 bit architectures will be the blocker for gromoacs' migration to testing -- without the removal, gromacs won't be able to migrate. So, I'd suggest to go ahead with the gromacs upload to unstable whenever you're ready and to immediately file the RM bug for the 32 bit binaries. The removal of votca-csg from testing can happen independently from unstable. If by the time gromacs is ready to migrate to testing votca-csg hasn't been removed from unstable, we can place a manual removal hint to get it removed from testing.
