bleach and other projects using html5lib seems to have locked the
version of html5lib to the one with 7 nines. Can we also go back to the
older version which works?

It is not sustainable to expect maintainers to reverse dependencies to
fix breakage with
out giving them advance notice. Since python-bleach has autopkgtests
defined, it
would have been easy to find out if an update of python-html5lib would
break it or not using a tool like build-and-upload script from
pkg-ruby-extras team [1]

This is now blocking progress of pagure too (which we want to use for
git.debian.org).
