Simon and I filled out this page: https://wiki.debian.org/Gnome/TrixieUpdates

There is an opportunity for people interested in helping out with
Debian development to help with testing these updates. It is
relatively straightforward to file an unblock bug with the testing
you've done. Use    reportbug release.debian.org    and follow the
prompts.

To create the required debdiff, this is the workflow I use with the
ptyxis package as an example.

sudo apt install ubuntu-dev-tools (for the pull-debian-source helper)
pull-debian-source ptyxis trixie
pull-debian-source ptyxis (specify experimental if needed)
debdiff ptyxis_48.3-1.dsc ptyxis_48.4-1.dsc > ptyxis_48.4-1.debdiff

Open the .debdiff file in your text editor to verify it looks ok and
attach it to your unblock bug. If you forget to attach it, just send a
followup email to the bug number with the attachment.

Thank you,
