I perfectly understood that python3.11 will be removed from testing (and
that it should be happen rather sooner than later which will
consequently remove the qiime packages as well (if dependencies will be
set correctly as you requested in this bug report). What I want to
understand is, whether its sensible to fix the dependencies of those
packages now (for say the next three months or so) and whether you
consider this a fix of this bug report or not.

Please note that as long I'm DPL I should not be included formally into
this "you/we". I more or less stalled my packaging work inside the
Debian Med team (and BTW, it works quite good thanks to the strong
team). I understood Michael in a way that he wants to restore python3-all
once the autumn release of qiime will be issued.

Thank you for the hint. I hope changes between 3.12 and 3.13 are not
that extraordinary complex like from 3.11 to 3.12.
Kind regards and thank you for your work on all Python3 releases
Andreas.
