This would be a problem for the current users of viking, as the bug
would then be unnoticed with apt-listbugs. I'm wondering whether
adding a Breaks or Conflicts against the current version of viking
(1.11+git20260816.2a242096-1) would be a solution, given that
viking is completely unusable (the hang occurs even before its
main window appears).
