I think it's worth emphasizing here that this is specifically not
supported, so that our users don't get the wrong idea. A Debian expert can
sometimes make skipping releases work, but the only supported upgrade
path is from one release to the next, and packages are not expected to
handle skipping a release gracefully.
Upgrading from bullseye (or older) to trixie is particularly likely to
cause problems, because of the t64 transition.
In this case the supportable upgrade path would have been:
* buster -> bullseye (Debian 10 -> 11)
* reboot into new kernel
* bullseye -> bookworm (11 -> 12)
* reboot into new kernel
* bookworm -> trixie (12 -> 13)
