guile-2.2 uses libxcrypt during build, but it also exposes this header to its downstreams by including -lcrypt in its pkgconf .pc file. There is an effort[1] to drop libcrypt-dev from the build-essential package set. This will not happen during the trixie freeze, but some months into the forky cycle. Once dropped, guile-2.2 and reverse dependencies of guile-2.2-dev will fail to build from source. I'm attaching a patch to make these dependencies explicit. It is safe for inclusion into trixie, but it does not warrant an upload of its own at this time of the freeze. Helmut [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2025/04/msg00113.html
