This is not quite correct. Kcheckpass was in the package of bullseye! And
bullseye was active (aka stable) since June 2023. And it has been officially
removed since the change to bookworm, which is only almost 2 months ago, NOT a
whol year!

I checked. Same isssue with a fresh user. Oh, and I forgot to tell: it is not
possible, to kill the related process, it will be started again and again.
So this is a real bug.
