Yes, exactly, thank you for explaining this Diane.  I was sleepy and
forgot to set high-priority, so I'm seeing if I can find another bug to
justify an upload with a slight bending of the rules, because it
benefits our users.

I don't think there is a release-team approved fix for stable.  The
src:org-mode in stable is older than the version bundled with src:emacs,
so it was converted to an empty dependency package.  For correctness
bin:org-mode-doc in stable should probably also become and empty package
that depends on emacs-common-non-dfsg.  Making that change would resolve
half of this bug for stable.

That said, src:emacs-common-non-dfsg doesn't contain orgguide, so it
wouldn't solve the requested purpose of this bug.  Given this, does it
sound worthwhile?

Yeah, anyone who wants to support an official solution is welcome to
step forward and do this.  You can also install the latest elpa-org-mode
and org-mode-doc debs from sid/unstable onto a bookworm/stable system
and everything should Just Work™ due to the magic of arch:all packages
and dh-elpa.

Best,
Nicholas
