Although this was documented for bullseye, the underlying cause
remains, and I think that it could be valuable for users to continue
to have this documentation available.
I've tested that the previously-added guidance from the bullseye
release notes remains valid and works on a bookworm system, and have
pushed a branch[1] to Salsa to restore the documentation.
Bugreport #952450 tracks a longer-term fix, and once that is resolved
I think it'd be fine to drop this note from the release-notes.
(for most other temporary/transitional release note issues, I think
it's fine to drop them between releases - this one seems to me like an
exception)
It's possible that this is too late to be included in the bookworm
release notes (and my apologies, if so). If not, though, I'll provide
a similar commit for the reStructuredText migration (cc'd).
