Hi Steve,

Will see how long it lasts, no sure that will be possible all
the way up to bookworm, but at least it will buy some time for
the porting work of reverse dependencies to ITK5.

Thanks, there are two branches (upstream-itk-4.y and itk-4.y) on
the Salsa repository [1], backed by a debian/gbp.conf so gbp use
is mostly fine (at least to build packages; import requires some
manual work, but there ought to be no further ITK4 versions so
that shouldn't be too problematic).  The only minor issue for
the moment is I'm not sure how to point vcswatch in the package
tracker [2] to the specific branch.

Have a nice day,  :)
