Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of linux the autopkgtest of zfs-linux fails in 
testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of linux 
from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In 
tabular form:

                        pass            fail
linux                  from testing    6.19.6-2
zfs-linux              from testing    2.4.1-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. It was pointed 
out on IRC that this might be related to the fact that the new version 
of linux isn't a new upstream version, but a new Debian revision.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of linux to testing 
[1]. Of course, linux shouldn't just break your autopkgtest (or even 
worse, your package), but it seems to me that the change in linux was 
intended and your package needs to update to the new situation.

If this is a real problem in your package (and not only in your 
autopkgtest), the right binary package(s) from linux should really add a 
versioned Breaks on the unfixed version of (one of your) package(s). 
Note: the Breaks is nice even if the issue is only in the autopkgtest as 
it helps the migration software to figure out the right versions to 
combine in the tests.
