Bookworm would be nice and I hope we can start early…
My plan is to rebuild whole archive against the final release and check
what happens. I did a rebuild against beta1 around June but didn't look
at the results very closely. A few packages failed to build like cargo,
dovecot, haproxy, libcrypt-openssl-*, …
Some packages may have failed because their dependecies were linked
against 1.1 and I tried to build them against 3.0. Unlike the archive
rebuild which has a order created by Ben based on dependencies.

If you know an easy way around it, I'm all yours. Otherwise I try to
rebuild and maybe some new packages were uploaded which are fixed now
that unstable is open again.
