Hi Olek,
First and foremost, I'm sorry this bug report dropped completely from
the radar during the major part of bullseye being stable.
Thank you for the apology. I definitely understand how crazy things get
prior to release!

2.2.x Initial availability of the Bazel build system
The [Bazel](https://bazel.build/) build system is available in Debian
starting with this release. This is a bootstrap variant that will not
include local versions of the extended Bazel ecosystem. However, the
current package **does** provide identical functionality to core
upstream Bazel, with the advantage of convenient Debian package
management for the installation. While building Debian packages is not
currently recommended, any software that supports Bazel builds should
build normally using this Debian-native Bazel package. This includes
build-time downloads of required dependencies.
The [Debian Bazel Team](https://salsa.debian.org/bazel-team/meta) is
working to package an extensible version of Bazel for future Debian
releases. This extensible version will allow additional components of
the Bazel ecosystem to be included as native Debian packages. More
importantly, this version will allow Debian packages to be built using
Bazel. Contributions to the team are welcome!
We can still add it to the bullseye release notes. Should we do that still?
Yes, please do!
I'm hoping to get to the point of being able to build Debian packages
with Bazel for the next release so I'll plan to file a release-notes bug
early for Trixie.
Thanks for following up on this.
