That was another item we discussed during the 2nd BoF. There are already 
some projects like these [1][2] and we were considering packaging them 
to ease the 3.13 transition.

eamanu said he would make a list of upstream projects we could package, 
but if you have some time, getting a list of projects would be great.

If we end up packaging these libraries, I think it should be clear that 
they won't be available for Forky (Debian 14). The last thing we want is 
to maintain some deprecated zombie-libraries forever in Debian :(
