Dear Maintainer,

During the upgrade from bookworm to trixie, d-s-s displays a warning
that sqv will receive limited security support ("Go- and Rust-based
packages").

I understand that there's an undertaking to support sqv given that it is
within the pseudo-essential set due to apt's dependency on it.
Suppressing this warning for the sqv package would be appropriate so as
to not cause confusion or alarm for users.

thanks
Stuart

https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/issues.en.html#go-and-rust-based-packages describes
a generic limitation for Rust and Go-based software. This does not mean that seqv is unsupported, Firefox
is a prominent piece of software which uses Rust to a large degree and does see frequent security updates.

There's no need to have bugs for any package using Go or Rust, so closing it.

Cheers,
        Moritz
