Hi, I posted a tentative patch for libhtml-gumbo-perl, but I think it
should really go away at some point.  It's unmaintained upstream and
hasn't adapted to newer development in the gumbo-parser library properly.

The only reverse dependency is request-tracker5, so that would need to
be handled first. Filing a bug about this for starters.

(Not proposing this for trixie unless it's trivial to do and/or
the libhtml-gumbo-perl situation gets worse somehow.)

Greetings from the (somewhat rainy) Debian MountainCamp in Innsbruck!
