I've been worried about this sort of breaking change for a while now and
now finally there's some real-world evidence, thanks :-).

I've added an agenda item to discuss this class of problem at the DebConf
Network Team BoF -
https://lists.debian.org/debconf-discuss/2025/05/msg00000.html
(see linked pad).

Do you think you'd have some time for a call to discuss the details here so
I can get a better handle on all dimensions of the problem? Please reply to
me directly if so.

Thanks,
--Daniel
