I'm the regular uploader of python3-llvmlite. Please give up with numba. Its core dependency llvmlite is not even ready for llvm != 11, while Sid had already get llvm-11 removed. I have tried to cherry-pick an upstream fix to bump llvmlite's llvm dependency to 12/14, but the autopkgtest shows numba would be vastly broken.
Unless they bump LLVM dependency to a newer version: https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/issues/897 https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/pull/830 there is zero chance to get numba in stable. I do not want to bump LLVM by force and leave a broken package in stable. llvmlite's python 3.11 support is still on the way: https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/issues/885 One possibility is that we may apply for freeze exception and wait for the llvmlite v0.40.0 release and see whether they will bump llvm dependency.
