We had a bit of discussion on this and if you think with these addition (meta) packages we can fix this problem, let's have them. Please prepare and upload. We'll notify ftp-masters that this upload to NEW is meant for bullseye. Ideally of course, you'd be able to test in unstable that the solution actually works before we accept them in testing. Is that feasible? Side note, on our check list [1], there's also a note on asking you if the install guide is up-to-date. Can you confirm that?
