It appears a liblxqt transition has started, possiblly inadvertantly. Back in June, Simon Quigley prepared an update of the lxqt stack. He announced that he intended to update the stack in unstable, but only actually did so in experimental. Part of this update was a transition from liblxqt0 to liblxqt1. The dev package has also been renamed from liblxqt0 to liblxqt1-dev, so this transition requires sourceful uploads of all reverse dependencies. In late October, Andrew Lee uploaded the new versions liblxqt and lxqt-session to unstable, but did not upload the rest of the stack. liblxqt has migrated to testing thanks to "smooth updates", leaving the lxqt stack in testing in violation of "packages must be buildable within the same release".
Can you please comment on this and also elaborate how you intent to fix the situation. At this moment we have a whole bunch of packages [1] that can't be rebuild in testing due to this, which means all those packages are RC buggy. The LXQt stack is part of the key package set, so the packages are not trivial to remove. We only have slightly under 2 months until the first bookworm freeze, I'd like to see this issue solved ASAP.
