Dear Maintainer, There is currently no easy way to have a package that uses libxml2 both in forky and trixie (via backports). trixie has 2.9 and 2.9 will be gone in forky, per Bug#1112209 libxml2.9: do not release with forky: https://bugs.debian.org/1112209 It means that to backport software that uses libxml2 to trixie-backports we currently need to go back to libxml2.9, which is not ideal. I think releasing a backport of v2.15 to trixie-backports would also allow to backport all software that will migrate from 2.9 to 2.15 and that want to be available in trixie via backports. Thanks, Agathe.
