So remaining steps are:
- run update-maintainer
- if trivial, try to fix d/watch (and then fix it in plucky too):
$ uscan --download-current-version
uscan warn: In debian/watch no matching hrefs for version 3.6.9 in watch line
  https://github.com/pymodbus-dev/pymodbus/tags .*/v?(\d\S*)\.tar\.gz

I noted that its only reverse dependency, pdudaemon[1], was also removed
from noble at the same time. Just in case that is also desired to have
back in noble.

Now, thinking about this bug, and noticing the "hole" we have in noble:
$ rmadison -asource pymodbus
 pymodbus | 1.2.0-2             | trusty/universe   | source
 pymodbus | 1.2.0+git20151013-1 | xenial/universe   | source
 pymodbus | 1.3.2-1             | bionic/universe   | source
 pymodbus | 2.1.0+dfsg-2        | focal/universe    | source
 pymodbus | 2.1.0+dfsg-2        | jammy/universe    | source
 pymodbus | 3.6.9-1             | oracular/universe | source
 pymodbus | 3.6.9-1             | plucky/universe   | source


I'm wondering if ubuntu users wouldn't be best served by an actual SRU that 
brings this package back? That is doable, but has a bit more requirements:
- a test plan
- a maintenance commitment (which we have)
- rdeps must keep working for real (I'm only aware of pdudaemon, which was also 
removed from noble, but I haven't investigated too deeply beyond running 
"reverse-depends python3-pymodbus")
- it would have to go through NEW review by an archive admin, and issues could 
be found there (which would likely have to be fixed in oracular/noble/plucky as 
well, depending on what they are, or in the next devel release).
- the same commitment from comment #10 would have to be extended for the devel 
release, and stable releases

This SRU would also take longer, whereas the backport seems to be around
the corner.

Thoughts?
