FTR, I'm delaying this upload to get 6.12.25 in as well which is
currently reviewed *and* as discussed briefly in todays kernel team
meeting, wait until we have he pending merge requests targeting trixie
in in experimental first with a 6.14.y upload ideally, just to have
some additional exposure.
I hope this still does not clash with d-i preparations or release-team
timelines. Let me please know otherwise.
Regards,
Salvatore
