I confirm that on ci.d.n the test in unstable now passes on a bookworm 
kernel on amd64, armel, armhf, i386 and ppc64el and I have lifted the 
block. The other architectures don't run on a bookworm kernel, but I 
assume those would be fine too. So, from my point of view it's fine to 
close this bug. If there's more you want to do with it, hardening or use 
it to track the podman issue below, feel free to downgrade and keep 
open. It's up to you.

For a while now, we have the desire to move ci.d.n infrastructure to 
podman. Given discussions about it keep coming up, it's rising higher 
and higher on my todo list. I'm probably going to check today how it 
fares on loong64 first (as that's not an official architecture). The 
good part on the ci.d.n side of things is that we have the capability to 
direct packages to a preferred (supported) backend, so if there are 
problems with podman, we could keep accountservice on lxc.
