Re: Bazel Removal from Debian

If the test passes regularly, and just sometimes fails under the same 
conditions, I would consider disabling it in autopkgtest rather than have it not 
make it into bookworm.  The perfect is the enemy of the good.

We still have no idea why Bazel Java tests are failing [1] and it seems to indicate an actual problem with Bazel, as opposed to just a flaky test. (It would be nice if I'm wrong about that) To save people a click, the failing error is:
