There is an open bug for this, <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806960>. According to <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/stardict>, the package was removed from testing and unstable in April 2020, but it was brought back in December 2021. Bug #806960 was upgraded to Severity: Important in June 2022, a year before Bookworm's release. I have no idea why stardict was allowed into Bookworm in this state. Shouldn't an open "Important" bug have blocked it? According to <https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=stardict>, the package is still in Trixie as well. Again, I don't know why it isn't being blocked. Or better yet, fixed.
