Thank you Stefano and SRM for handling this so quickly!

I'd like to note that the breakage is a little bit bigger than nova's
test suite and the documentation for python3.13 itself.

After an archive rebuild for Debian 13.6, I found at least 20 packages
with FTBFS issues due to this bug (the 19 packages in the affects field
for Bug #1141977, plus src:python3.13 itself).

So I wonder if it would be feasible/possible (for this one time) to
release Debian 13.7 a little bit before the initially planned date of
2026-09-12?

Thanks.
