Hi Santiago,

Thanks for the quick feedback.

I'm sorry. I've attached an updated patch correcting this in all places.

Difficult. The problem is that we need a looping construct here or
duplicate the logic from debian/rules. I value don't-repeat-yourself
higher than being able to use dh-exec and hence interpolated the
triggers from debian/rules.

I somewhat simplified the logic using make's filter-out now. Hope that
makes things more clear.

We can only move forward once all of the bugs marked as blockers have
been fixed (ideally in trixie). I'll have to look into NMUing them soon.
If all goes well and time64 settles, I can do the synced NMU around the
end of March. Does that work for you?

An unsolved problem at this time is how to ensure that all of the
relevant packages migrate to trixie at the same time. Possibly we'll
have to add mutual versioned Breaks to the mix.
