For what it's worth, I have tested lavamind's Puppet 7 package from
experimental, on bookworm, and it works fine:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/puppet-agent

... I am not sure how to express this in the BTS here, because it's a
different source package, so I can't mark it as fixed there without
first marking it as affecting that other package, but it never affected
it.

Anyways, just to say that this is fixed in experimental. :)
