You could package a non-conflicting cython-legacy, however that would
require more changes, also how to build it.

Hi Matthias,

Unfortunately, at least some of cython3-legacy doesn't currently work
with Python 3.12, and is the primary cause of (at least) #1056531.
cython3 provides the pyximport module, and that uses the imp module
which has been removed from Python 3.12.

Two possible ways forward on this particular bug:

- Disable all of the cython tests for this package for the time being,
   until cython 3.x migrates to testing - this is simple and effective.

- Patch cython3-legacy to use importlib rather than imp.  This is
   probably a good thing to do anyway.  (It may also be good to do this
   with cython3 version 0.x currently in testing/unstable until cython
   3.x is able to be uploaded to unstable.)  Then have my package's
   autopkgtest depend on cython3-legacy (unless cython3 0.x is also
   patched).

I won't working on this. Have you tried to depend on the python3-zombie-imp instead?
