Thanks for forwarding the issue upstream.

If upstream wants to support both muscle 3 and muscle 5, then surely
yes. If only muscle 5 support is needed, maybe simple adjustments to
accommodate muscle's CLI changes would be enough. Nevertheless let us
wait for upstream response, there is quite some time before the bookworm
freeze.
