[Bug 1919432] [NEW] [REMOVE] please remove iperf 2.0.14a+dfsg1 fom hirsute-proposed

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

Public bug reported:

While stuck "long enough" to formally not needing an FFe or such:

iperf (2.0.13+dfsg1-1build1 to 2.0.14a+dfsg1-1)
  Migration status for iperf (2.0.13+dfsg1-1build1 to 2.0.14a+dfsg1-1): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates 
  migration policy/introduces a regression
  Issues preventing migration:
  autopkgtest for openvswitch/2.15.0-0ubuntu1: s390x: Regression ♻
  autopkgtest for openvswitch/2.15.0~git20210104.def6eb1ea-0ubuntu3: amd64: Regression ♻ , arm64: 
  Regression ♻ , ppc64el: Regression ♻
  Additional info:
  139 days old

This brings real new test regressions, e.g. https://github.com/mininet/mininet/issues/1060 which I filed upstream.
Iperf is used quite often in all kind of test suites and I'd be afraid to somehow have/force migrating this late into Hirsute to then trigger test issues in many place around the world.

Also 2.0.14a isn't a real release as upstream used it as an alpha for the 2.1 release.
The release notes jump over it, and 2.1 clearly is a major change that we' not want that late in Hirsute:
- https://sourceforge.net/p/iperf2/code/ci/master/tree/doc/RELEASE_NOTES
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf2/files/Iperf%202.0.14%20New%20Features.pdf/download
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf2/files/Iperf%202.0.14%20Enhancements.pdf/download

Sticking to the 2.0.13+dfsg1-1build1 that we have atm should be the lower fallout-risk for now.
Therefore I wanted to ask to remove the current one from hirsute-proposed.

Note: Strictly speaking this is held back by test fails atm, but there
is no guarantee that someone else looks at it and e.g. does a badtest
hint which would make it migrate. Hence I'd think removing it would be
safer and further clear hirsute-proposed from bad cases.
