As requestor of #1031160 I would say this was a mistake,
perhaps due to
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/openjfx
Issues preventing migration:
∙ ∙ removing openjfx/11.0.11+0-1.1/arm64 from testing makes beast2-mcmc/2.7.3+dfsg-1/arm64 uninstallable
∙ ∙ removing openjfx/11.0.11+0-1.1/arm64 from testing makes josm/0.0.svn18646+dfsg-1/arm64 uninstallable
∙ ∙ removing openjfx/11.0.11+0-1.1/arm64 from testing makes pdfsam/4.3.4-1/arm64 uninstallable
This will require a hint from the release team I have not yet requested,
since installability of binary-all packages is tested on amd64 and arm64
but there is no requirement that a binary-all package is installable on
arm64 and several are not.[1]
