Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear Release Team,

I think I might need your help for a testing migration of some golang 
packages, which did get stuck with circular dependencies. Those packages 
are all from the same upstream and are sometimes interdependent.

To make matters worse, the last upload (in testing) is more than a year 
old, and therefore the autopkgtest fails with the new versions in unstable.

The packages are in the golang-github-charmbracelet-* family.

The "central" package seems to be this one:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-charmbracelet-x

As you can see, it would migrate after two new packages, 
golang-github-charmbracelet-colorprofile and 
golang-github-charmbracelet-ultraviolet. However, the first one 
(-colorprofile) would itself migrate after 
golang-github-charmbracelet-x, so this is a circular dependency.

Moreover, the package golang-github-charmbracelet-x cannot migrate due 
to autopkgtest failures in two other packages in testing, 
golang-github-charmbracelet-bubbletea and 
golang-github-charmbracelet-huh, which are both too old to cope with the 
new golang-github-charmbracelet-x package.

I think it might help to add a hint for britney to allow the testing 
migration once the packages have reached the required age for transitioning.

In retrospect, this might have been a case for a formal transition, 
coordinated by you from the start. However, I did not expect this mess 
to happen and just uploaded to unstable. I'm really sorry about that. I 
hope we can sort this out without too much work on your side.

Regards,
Tobias
