We can hold off on the Bookworm update for a little bit if that would
help. As this is my first attempt at getting a package into
stable-updates, I am learning a bit myself. Another developer pointed me
at the appropriate part of the developer reference for this so I realize
that I was using the wrong version suffix when publishing a package for
p-u to stable. Another reason why I was keeping it simple as I learn
this.

Yep, I'll figure it out this week-end, but I want to make sure I fully
understand the issue and can ensure I apply the appropriate patch.

Yes, I can backport it there as well. It looks like gh was only made
available to bullseye as a backport so that should be similar to other
backports which I have done before.
