In general, I agree with you. But as far as I can see, Guilherme introduced
python-aio-pika for the sake of packaging kiwipy and probably has not checked
compatiblity before packaging that. It is not in use by any other package.
So for me this would be okay. It is in the archive for two months now and
popcon is at 1. I do not think that upstream will have the issue fixed soon
and it would be a pity if Guilherme's packaging work (there are some more deps
introduced for kiwipy) would not be fruitful for him in the sense of having it
available in bookworm.
