Those are expected. The reason is that there's no bootstrap binaries for 
mips{64,}el because upstream dropped their tier level and no longer provides 
them. So we'll have to drop (or keep an outdated) firefox/chromium binary. Note 
that for mipsel, this doesn't matter much, as llvm-16 isn't available either, 
and there are no firefox-esr/chromium/thunderbird builds there.

I'll look at the autopkgtest and the other issues (conflicts et al).

Cheers,
Emilio
