 displayed next to any deleted migration file which was once executed on a

Migrations present in the parent application due to a previous installation are skipped, and missing ones are copied with a new leading timestamp. If you deleted old engine migrations and ran the install task again, you'd get new files with new timestamps, and `db:migrate` would attempt to run them again.
