Indeed, in that case it isn't supposed to show up on the transition
tracker. What I was trying to understand if that is deliberate and based
on #873374 it seems so. pytsk statically links libtsk to workaround ABI
breakage in libtsk13 4.4.2-1. Is libguestfs in buster also affected by
that issue? libguestfs was built with a libtsk version post-ABI break,
but depends on libtsk13 >= 4.4.0.

You can go ahead with the upload.
