Hi Sandro,

Ah, that's a very good point.  I was half-aware of it, but didn't
really think it through.

I guess it will depend on how much breakage it causes; the
deprecations and breaking changes listed at
https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/changelog.html see somewhat
"obscure", but who knows how much they're used in Debian packages?!

I wish I could help, but I only have a couple of hours per week for
Debian stuff, so this is beyond my capacity, unfortunately :-(

Best wishes,

   Julian
