Hello Hiroshi,

Also, back to the 7zip front, I contacted the previous bookworm- backports uploaders to plan sync'ing with trixie, to avoid upgrade issues for bpo users.

Working on the backport raised 2 issues:

* p7zip: 7zip/trixie has too strict replacements for the p7zip->7zip transition, making it impossible to fit in any update.
This may result in temporary conflicts on /usr/bin/7z* during upgrades.
Would this 7zip/trixie fix be OK?

 Package: 7zip
 ...
-Breaks: p7zip-full (<= 16.02+dfsg-8),
-        p7zip (<= 16.02+dfsg-8)
-Replaces: p7zip-full (<= 16.02+dfsg-8),
-          p7zip (<= 16.02+dfsg-8)
+Breaks: p7zip-full (<< 16.02+transitional.1),
+        p7zip (<< 16.02+transitional.1)
+Replaces: p7zip-full (<< 16.02+transitional.1),
+          p7zip (<< 16.02+transitional.1)


* 7zip: I uploaded 7zip-25/bookworm to pu, but this gets in the way of the 7zip -> 7zip+7zip-standalone split
(cf. #1050118, /usr/bin/7zz conflict):

 Package: 7zip-standalone
 Replaces: 7zip (<< 23.01+dfsg-4~)

I asked the SRMs to reject my upload (if it's not too late) so we may use a more complex version scheme such as:
bookworm: 22.01+dfsg-8+deb12u1
proposal: 22.01+really25.01+dfsg-0+deb12u1
trixie:   25.01+dfsg-1~deb13u1

Or, always update 7zip-standalone/trixie with a Break on prior versions:
-Replaces: 7zip (<< 23.01+dfsg-4~)
+Replaces: 7zip (<< 25.01+dfsg-1~)

What do you think?

Cheers!
