This is the combination of two issues that each shouldn't happen:

1. A maintainer breaking plenty of rdeps for dubious reasons [1] and 
then just orphaing everything.[2]

2. A maintainer of an rdep not properly testing a change, and 
therefore not noticing that it removes all package dependencies.[3]

Reverting the infrastructure of the mono ecosystem to the working trixie 
status might be the best option?
