Or we just don't update the package on bullseye, leaving it at 1.23.1.
But there is still the autopkgtest, so we still have test coverage
there.

Any of these would work.
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck would have to be set in the sbuild-package

The extra test dependencies need annotating with <!nocheck> so the
build doesn't try to install them.
