The upload of proj (8.2.1-1) to unstable did not trigger an autopkgtest 
regression:

Perhaps the autopkgtest of gnudatalanguage should be marked as flaky:

  flaky
     The test is expected to fail intermittently, and is not suitable for
     gating continuous integration. This indicates a bug in either the
     package under test, a dependency or the test itself, but such bugs
     can be difficult to fix, and it is often difficult to know when the
     bug has been fixed without running the test for a while. If a
     ``flaky`` test succeeds, it will be treated like any other
     successful test, but if it fails it will be treated as though it
     had been skipped.
