That said, you can verify this yourself here: https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libgtkglext1-dev As you can see, bullseye (the release for which I provided a temporary workaround to obtain the package) is the last Debian version that includes it. And yes, you are absolutely correct, it is indeed a legitimate issue. I recommend that you, or Martin, submit a bug report on GitHub so that it can be properly tracked and addressed. :) Thank you.
