If Debian 13 has dropped it, why aren't we just keeping the mips
dockerfiles on 12 ?

The debian-legacy-test-cross a manually written dockerfile that
has almost none of our deps installed, and is still on 11 which
is outside our support matrix now. So I don't think we should
be expanding use of debian-legacy-test-cross, ideally it would
be removed entirely.

This shouldn't be here.

I'm not seeing the need to remove these, when they could just
stay on -12, when the next commit updates the other arches
to -13.
