packages.debian.org says that it is in unstable but not testing,
which suggests that it is not in great shape.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=redmine;dist=unstable

shows a dependency on rails, and a comment from February:

"Indeed we'll have to wait for 5.0. I had hope for 4.2 but it was pushed
back and despite interesting fixes planned for this release that's most
probably not going to work. It's unfortunate Redmine's development is
going so slowly.

Anyway we plan to provide a package in backports whenever possible."

and in April:

"I finished packaging 4.2.1 a few days ago and I can confirms this
totally does not work. Upstream had piled on many patches and now
targeting Rails 6.1. Unfortunately this is not over and 5.0 has many
tasks assigned which are not done."

so now that Ruby/Rails stuff is shaking out, that might be a
thing that people will work on soon.
