Would you be willing to consider shipping a snapshot of the git
repository (as is available on MELPA)? This would be a temporary
solution until upstream finally makes a formal release. Otherwise it
looks like ESS will not be part of bookworm…

Shipping a git snapshot is established practice in Debian, especially
for situations like the present one.

I am willing to help if needed.

Best wishes,
