Unfortunately I don't think we can include it in trixie. The Release Team's freeze policy says we should upload only targeted fixes. And the Stable Release Managers only allow fixes for bugs of Severity: important or higher for stable updates, but this bug is wishlist. But I think we can do the following: - Let's start preparing the versioned Provides generation in experimental. Assume I'l backport your patch in #78844 to Emacs 30. Can you prepare a patch implementing the Provides generation? - If you want to work on it, we can propose adding manually generated Provides to trixie. -- Sean Whitton
