Since 2.0 introduces breaking API changes - see the "Backwards-incompatible"
changes in [1], I agree with Pierre that we should downgrade for Trixie.

I'm not sure how we should version it - perhaps: 2.0+ds+really1.33-1 ?

And then 2.0+ds+really2.0-1, or better yet skip 2.0 and upload 2.2+ds to
experimental, or wait until after the trixie release cycle.

Mechtilde, will you handle the upload?

Thank you,
