No worries, and thank you.

Good point about experimental, and yes, that does feel like a better place
to put them. I wouldn't want to release Debian with a beta release of RT.

This thought has made me look at autopkgtest for RT4 as I needed to upload a
new version to stop autoremoval from trixie. I've been busy adding them to
the extension packages as I update them, so figured it couldn't be that
hard...

I now have RT4 running autopkgtests, only needed a minimal amount of work,
but I have 1 test that consistently fails, and one which is intermittent. So
frustrating!

Cheers,
Andrew
