I've spent some time into theano and it builds and runs its test suite
in Salsa CI[1].  Since despite some tests are failing in my local
pbuilder environment I'd be happy if someone else could run some test
build before uploading.  I decided for the latest upstream that was
prepared by Rebecca and I also sneaked into the aesara fork[2] to copy
some solutions they found for numpy 1.24 compatibility.

I think we can not really loose much by taking this code from
experimental since if we break something it can be removed which is
the consensus we've somehow found before.  In case it might work we
have saved something for bookworm.  Regarding future releases we
should probably check whether those packages we want to save will
work with aesara.

Kind regards
   Andreas.
