FYI, upstream merged my proposed patch in bug#78844[1]. I'd still advocate for its inclusion in Trixie to make the upgrade experience smoother for dropped packages (e.g. eglot, project, etc.) Though I do acknowledge that we are already in the late stage of the Trixie release cycle, and it's probably safe to maintain the status quo. If the latter is chosen, I wonder whether this may still be a good candidate for a future stable update, or only be suitable for a backport? > [...] [1] https://debbugs.gnu.org/78844 -- Regards, Xiyue Deng
