Yes. In an ideal world, renpy should be reworked to use the standard pygame.

I tweaked the description to say so.

I also asked for an oldlibs overide

That's a lot of work for a problem that might solve itself.

I did the minimal work to remove the python3-future dependency
(and it's already quite a lot of work) and have something that works at all.

It is still broken in Bookworm & I have no plan for this.

(maybe a backport later, not a targeted fix)
