I plan to contact directly the sponsor to study the impact of

technically possible or not. Help with that will be very appreciated.
Any volunteers?
A backport of 535.247.01-1~deb12u1 to bullseye should be rather trivial.
Compared to 470.xx the ppc64el architecture will dropped since upstream
no longer provides updated ppc64el binaries (this has also been done in
bookworm).
It is not a 0-change backport due to Openssl 1.1 vs. OpenSSL 3 (the
neccessary changes are already in 535.183.01-1~deb12u1~bpo11+1).
While writing this email a bullseye test rebuild of an updated
bullseye-backports branch completed successfully. I can provide builds
for LTS (source and/or binary, all architectures), but not test them.
