So this is actually quite stupid.

While some errors required to be fixed in settings etc, I had plenty
troubles understanding why some django updates were not done, and also
why things worked properly in my case.

It seeps to be because they're done as part of the mailman3-web upgrade,
which did not occur because I did not release any new version of
mailman3-web in bookworm. Why it worked in my case is because it
actually seems I did a "reconfigure" of mailman3-web after fixing the
config file.

So actually, I think I can now fix this issue...
