Can you please comment on this and also elaborate how you intent to fix 
the situation. At this moment we have a whole bunch of packages [1] that 
can't be rebuild in testing due to this, which means all those packages 
are RC buggy. The LXQt stack is part of the key package set, so the 
packages are not trivial to remove. We only have slightly under 2 months 
until the first bookworm freeze, I'd like to see this issue solved ASAP.
