 Indeed, a long time ago. While I've some time constraints nowadays,
there are reasons that this is not packaged yet.

 Security support has precedence. But please note that 3.16.2 has an
unfixed issue that causes severe file corruption [1]. Then it changes
a function signature of a symbol (ABI break) [2], which can cause
problems with software using it. Then there is another ABI break with
3.15.0+ [3].
It seems 3.17 is coming, at least this commit [4] seems interesting
and a 64 bit value truncation fix [5] would be nice to have as well.
But I do not know if the new release is coming soon or not.

 I do have. In the hope that at least some of the above bugs get
fixed. I do not think it is worth the risks to have those with Trixie.
But I'm open to hear your thoughts.
