Package: kicad
Version: 7.0.11+dfsg-1

I am using Debian testing/trixie, the Kicad bundle has multiple issues.

1. kicad-footprints kicad-packages3d kicad-symbols kicad-templates (7.x)
are all missing. I also checked stable sources.
```
# apt install kicad-footprints=
Completing package version
6.0.11-1  -- http://deb.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages
8.0.1-1   -- http://deb.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages
```
2. I also have "unstable" source for apt, when upgrading, kicad-footprints
kicad-packages3d kicad-symbols kicad-templates got upgraded to 8.0, which
Kicad 7.0 does not compatible with.

Kicad and its footprints packages3d symbols templates

3. kicad-libraries should not Depends kicad-footprints (>= 7.0.0~),
kicad-symbols (>= 7.0.0~), kicad-templates (>= 7.0.0~),rather >= 7.0.0
<8.0.0


Kicad can only access libraries with same or lower major version.
