FWIW, I managed to upload roughly ten fixed packages [1], it might be 
useful to get an idea of what needs to fixed, and some example of fixes.

I also push partial fixes to some repositories [2] (I didn’t upload 
because there are remaining issues, e.g. PHPUnit 9 testsuite works on 
php7.4, but fails under php8.0).

If you are already familiar with any of the broken packages, I’d advise 
to start there. If not, my little experience after this first round is 
that actively maintained packages (recent upstream release, up to date 
in Debian) may be among the easiest to fix (I managed to cherry-pick one 
fix from upstream…).
