Description

It’s written in Python 2, which is not supposed to be included in Bullseye.

Moreover, it depends on:

  • python-jabberbot: still in Buster but won’t be in Bullseye; the version in Debian is Python 2 only
  • python-xmpp: antique CVS snapshot; orphaned; on life support since years (e.g. Bug #9074); the version in Debian is Python 2 only and therefore will likely not make it into Bullseye

So it seems like this will need to be rewritten using maintained Python 3 modules once we want to run the test suite on Bullseye.

Rationale: as long as our test suite can’t run on Buster, it’s not worth worrying about running it on Bullseye.
