A follow-up to this bug report: Due to the breakage caused by the (old) ess package, I (as maintainer of the Debian package) now received the note that the ess / elpa-ess packages will be archived away from Debian unstable as they make Emacs 28.1 uninstallable.
So future Debian releases will not have ess / elpa-ess package. Of course installation from other sources remains possible. We debated here for some time what to do about a new ESS release, but with nothing concrete to show, and this is now a consequence of (in)action. We are all between a rock and a hard place: the upstream is 'not quite right' for a release so none happens, yet Debian users want Emacs 28.1. So there.
