This makes sense -- thanks a lot. Actually, Hendrik Jäger (Cc:ed)
reported this issue and provided a patch [1], which was uploaded to
unstable on 2022/12/26 via 4.0.3-7. After a review of the patch, I also
noticed this only targeted Build-Depends, but not Depends.

Unfortunately, up until now, there wasn't a proposed update targeting
bullseye.

Andreas, how do you want to proceed? Do you have any spare cycles to
handle this? This would be great -- but please don't hesitate to tell me
if that's not the case, if so, I'll take over.

Also, another, related question, looking at #1038935, which will require
an update targeting bookworm: I assume, as Debian, qua definition, only
supports upgrades from one release to the next, fixing the
ruby-activerecord issue in bullseye is sufficient?

All the best,
Georg
