Hi RMs,

[ Reason ]
It was turned out that dist-upgrade to Trixie might break [1] as
Python packages would like to use expat which in turn uses library
symbols from the new glibc, the 2.18 version ones. Hence these fail as
glibc might be unpacked late.

[ Impact ]
The glibc dependency moved to a pre-dependency to make it clear expat
needs an unpacked and installed version of the former.

[ Tests ]
I tested installation, but not (yet) the full dist-upgrade path.

[ Risks ]
There's none, pre-dependency just makes the dependency stronger.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

Regards,
Laszlo/GCS

Unblocked expat. Regarding risks, Pre-Depends make it harder for apt to find upgrade paths, so there's that.
