When installing freedombox 26.11 in a fresh unstable Debian VM (created using debvm), the packages uwsgi and uwsgi-plugin-python3 get installed as dependencies. Howwever, freedombox setup process is expecting the uwsgi-core package to be installed, and it is not. So freedombox ends up in a setup loop. uwsgi-core is now a transitional package in testing and unstable.
