Bug description:
[Impact]
The kernel lrm packages have a mechanism to auto-generate transitional
packages by adding a line to 'debian/package.config' in the following
format
transitional <from> <to> <archs>
Example:
transitional 450-oem-20.04 450-generic amd64
When being processed by 'debian/scripts/gen-rules.lrm' the
autogenerated contents are added to 'debian/control.d/transitionals-
local'. However, this file is not included in the final
'debian/control' for packages which does not contain the default
variant '--' (see debian/rules.in). This is intentional to prevent
unwanted transitionals.
However, there are some cases where we want to transition packages to
kernels which are not the default variant in a series (e.g. hwe
kernels).
[Fix]
The proposed fix is to add a new command "migrate", which does exactly
what "transitional" does but adding the content to
'debian/control.d/migrate-local' which would get added to the final
'debian/control' independently of the source's variants.
[Test Case]
Add "migrate" entries to 'debian/package.config' and check whether
they get added to 'debian/control' even for non default variant
packages.
[Where problems could occur]
If not used correctly, unwanted transitionals could be generated
causing issues to the archive. However, this is a new command and
should not impact any of the previously set transitionals and it needs
to be explicitly used.
