In the Debian installer for trixie (debian-installer-13-netboot-amd64
20250803+deb13u5, running in qemu-kvm), you can demonstrate the problem by
switching to a shell and running:

~ # anna-install kexec-tools-udeb
~ # kexec -v
kexec: error while loading shared libraries: libxenctrl.so.4.20: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

From /var/log/syslog we see it silently skipped over the declared
libxenmisc4.20 dependancy as there does not exist a udeb for libxenmisc:

May 30 14:12:21 anna-install: Installing kexec-tools-udeb

May 30 14:12:21 anna[31045]: DEBUG: retrieving kexec-tools-udeb

Thanks for your help,
Daniel
