Public bug reported:

I'm noticing that qpdf-10.6.1 is not syncing from Debian even though, as
far as I can see, automatic sync freeze has not yet happened. There are
some major changes in 10.6 that I would really like to get into Ubuntu
because they include transitional code to help users migrate to qpdf 11.

Is there something that needs to happen for this to sync? I don't want
to miss the window.

At this time, there are test failures in pikepdf because of a bug fix to
qpdf in transcoding. We have determined that these test failures don't
indicate a serious problem with either qpdf or pikepdf -- they are
basically that pikepdf had some tests that were depending on incorrect
qpdf functionality. For details, see
https://github.com/pikepdf/pikepdf/issues/303

The pikepdf author is aware of the upcoming Ubuntu 22.04 freeze and is
trying to get a fix in in time, but I'm hoping we can avoid getting into
a situation where we miss the bus. There's a chance I might release
10.6.2 to fix one other minor transcoding issue, but I don't consider
the issue to be important enough to justify a release. But if the
pikepdf author wants a release to simplify his testing, I will do it.
