The best would be to have that kind of change happen right at the beginning of a release cycle, rather than in the last few weeks before a release… A compromise might be thinking about backporting the change to bullseye once it's been tested with some D-I Bookworm Alpha 1 (but that would also be a rather important change to backport to a stable release…). Happy to hear other opinions. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (kibi@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
