This is the piece we're missing. What is it in Debian that makes this support difficult? Why do we need to rush this into bullseye now? Also, that message 00035 mentions two items that were considered as too disruptive. Does fixing only the third item really warrant the upload now, considering it seems to hint that you'll want to rename things again after the release: """ - It was requested that we differentiate between "system" Python and what upstream considers core Python. A package rename (e.g. python3 -> python3-system) will confuse everyone and take multiple releases to implement, and cannot be targeted until bookworm at the earliest. """ Paul
