Dear maintainer(s),



The following removed libraries were found in this package:

crypt: debian/tests/testlib.py:22

Python 3.13 removes a large amount of so called 'dead battery' libraries from the standard library. As such, code that imports these libraries will no longer work in Python 3.13, which is the targeted version for Trixie. See this link for more details: https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/#deprecated-modules

This "only" affects the autopkgtests, so if no-one considers fixing that issue, it would imho be better to just disable the tests / ignoring the test failures then removing the packages completely from trixie.
