And the move is done.  I think everything that needed moving from 
[testing] (and nothing that did not...) has now been moved.  The only 
package I am unsure of is libreoffice, but I leave that to Andy to decide.

[community-testing] is empty so that is a good sign all packages have 
been moved!

A big thanks to everyone who helped out on this massive rebuild.
