I think protobuf accidentally lost its build-time testing when the elpa
addon was enabled. This is sad as we want the test suite for making
security updates more robust. As such, I think this deserves important
severity and I hope we can still update it bookworm.

Please let me know if you want to handle this. I'll treat the absence of
a response as being ok with me NMUing the attached patch and filing the
unblock request.

I also intend to NMU protobuf in stable (fixing more issues).

 Updated package is uploaded.
 Feel free to ping me before that. I'm always open to learning from my
mistakes - and I'm alive and well.
