I don't know anything about chai. Besides, since you are its maintainer, 
I would expect the investigation to be done by yourself rather than myself.

I meant context about why the package now FTBFS. I understand this is a 
transition and I don't think uploading to unstable is wise before FTBFS 
issues such as this one are fixed. Is there an urgency in having chai 
4.x in testing/unstable?
