Not sure I'm picking the right message to reply to here, but here we go.

I see that you uploaded 6.16.0-1 to experimental back in December 2020:

https://tracker.debian.org/news/1205795/accepted-puppet-6160-1-source-into-experimental/

Is that package in any shape to ship with bookworm? It would be great to
start this transition to get the package down into testing soon...

Note that we're likely to miss the February 2023 deadline for the Puppet
6 EOL anyways:

https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/6/platform_lifecycle.html

... so maybe we don't even want to do that? or maybe we should focus on
packaging Puppet 7?

I was hoping for a moment we could ship bookworm with the Puppet 6 agent
which would allow us work with a puppetserver 7, but it seems even that
won't keep us from shipping an EOL component (puppet agent 6)...
