Control: tags -1 + trixie-ignore

hippotat 1.1.7 FTBFS with rust-base64 0.21.
hippotat 1.1.9 build-depends on rust-base64 0.21.

So the plan is for these to migrate together, and ISTM from reading
tracker that that is what will happen as soon as the remaining
blockers for rust-bsee64 migration are disposed of.

In principle hippotat's build-dependencies could have been adjusted to
depend on rust-base64 0.13, and then we could have waited for that to
enter testing, and then done the update.  But thst seems otiose, given
that the plan is that trixie should have base64 0.21.

Therefore I am tagging this bug trixie-ignore to avoid getting
autoremoval warnings etc.  I hope I'm not overstepping the mark.

PS, with my upstream hat on: It is a shame that the Rust base64 crate
has such a cavalier approach to API stability.  I am considering my
options in this area for hippotat (eg data-encoding or base64ct), but
without better tests and test vectors I am reluctant to switch right
now.
