Re: gauche not migrating to debian bookworm/testing ?

If the showstopper is the licensing issue as in the pointed bug report, it
has been addressed in the HEAD, as the upstream updated the license.
The new release (0.9.13) seems to take some more time, for we're in the
middle of a big change.  However, you can backport the license change in
this commit:
