The link you're pointing to says 22 days, not 66 !!!

This looks like a correct analysis. So in fact, the only thing that
should be done is fix the BTS entry no? I'm not sure how...

IMO, that's not what's needed here. What's needed, is to tell the BTS
the package is working as expected, and should be migrating. IMO, the
bug you're opening is:
1/ not following the rules (because 22 days instead of 60)
2/ unfortunately not very helpful ...

But maybe I'm mistaking?!? :)

I do not think adding a:

Breaks: python3-django-horizon (<< 3:18.6.2)

in the current unstable version is the way to go at this point, as this
was addressed in Bullseye, as you wrote, which provides the upgrade path
already. So what should be done then?
