Hi,

Synapse 0.99 was never meant to be a properly usable release in buster,
and it was only included as some sort of a plug to make upgrades a tiny
bit easier for users — they were supposed to upgrade the package to the
version from backports almost immediately.

However, the time when this version was usable has definitely passed. It
has a bunch of security issues fixed in the newer releases, and the
effort of porting them back is significant, while most probably everyone
running synapse on buster is on the version from backports or the
version from the upstream.

Please remove matrix-synapse from buster only.

Cheers,
  Andrej
