Thank you! (I was not part of that IRC conversation.)
Some of the forward progress with DEP-17 is blocked by getting an updated
debootstrap into 12.2 and 11.8, which are planned for 2023-10-07 if I
understand correctly, so resolving this within the next month would take
mips64el off the critical path.
Another option that occurred to me would be that the affected buildds
could perhaps be upgraded to bullseye user-space, but with the kernel
metapackage held back to buster's? Obviously that's not ideal (no
kernel security updates) but at least that way they'd have user-space
security updates to components like sshd, together with the same
schroot/sbuild/debootstrap behaviours as most of the other architectures'
buildds.
