I mean, for the "final" official buster builds, that is? That's exactly the point: I don't think it's unlikely. And it can't be tested until it reaches the buildds. At which point, seeing breakages isn't exactly what we want when a release is about to happen. As a middle ground, how does the following sound? First test this in unstable with the first alpha for bullseye, and possible backport it in a point release?
