Ok, you don't have to do it yourself, as there is also the possibility of NMU
(which I was trying to avoid).

The reason this is necessary in bullseye is that packages in stable *must* build in stable.
This was already a release goal for bullseye, it's not a new requirement.

Naturally, if packages start failing after we release bullseye, it follows that
the only way to keep bullseye buildable from source is to fix things as they happen.

But again, I will not force anybody to do uploads they don't want to do.

Thanks.
