It looks as though the failing tests are for python-mpd's asyncio
interface, which is not actually used by any Debian package yet. In the
3.1.0-2 upload, I've marked those tests to be skipped, which mitigates
the bug.

It's still a valid bug, just not RC any more. If anyone is interested in
fixing the asyncio interface (or the test - it's not clear which one is
wrong), please revert d/p/Skip-asyncio-unit-tests-in-Python-3.12.patch
locally.

3.1.0-2 also sets up the package to run tests for all supported Python
versions at build time, which should make the failure with 3.12 easier
to reproduce: it will become a build failure, not just an autopkgtest
failure.
