[Pkg-ayatana-devel] Bug#992567: ayatana-indicator-sound: Upgrading (full-upgrade) from Buster to Bullseye broke sound handling

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I did a full upgrade, Buster>Bullseye on the night of the release on my Dell
Latitude E5270.
Afterwards both Bluetooth and the sound applet were gone from the topbar and
the sound keys (F1,F2,F3) no longer controlled the sound.

Doing a Web search for 'debian sound applet gone', I found recommendation for
install or re-install package 'indicator-sound' but that returned 'package is
not available but will be replaced by ayatana-indicator-sound'.

Installing ayatana-indicator-sound also installed a few other items:
apg ayatana-indicator-common ayatana-indicator-sound cheese-common
gir1.2-malcontent-0 gnome-control-center gnome-control-center-data
  libasound2-plugins libcanberra-pulse libcheese-gtk25 libcheese8 libflatpak0
liblomiri-url-dispatcher0 libmalcontent-ui-0-0
  libnss-myhostname libostree-1-1 libpulsedsp malcontent malcontent-gui
pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pulseaudio-utils realmd rtkit
