Agreed on that point.  But I suspect that the maintainer is going to
become involved to get approx working in Debian-12.

I searched for "Debian approx apt-cache" and found several users of
apt-cache and apt-cache-ng who reported the packages buggy and
several who expressed appreciation for the stability of approx.

Whatever release of approx I have running on the Debian-9 machine
works flawlessly, but I do hope to upgrade the Debian version on that
machine.  I suppose I could reinstall on my planned replacement, and
see whether approx still works with Debian-11, or go back to
Debian-10, if necessary.
