Let's use master as the base since misc-world-rebuild
changes (guix build utils) and nothing can be built there
locally (within a couple hours).

Thanks, and I think it's a good idea to both merge the with-info variant
and update ncurses, in separate commits so the latter could be drop
in case we can't figure out how to fix some dependent(s).

If team C++ is not doing a team branch in the foreseeable future,
let's do it here.  Could you ping them on that PR with a reference
to this Debbugs issue <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/80782>?

BTW Valgrind 3.27 is out now!

Thanks! It is beyond my capability to review that patch though,
so we still need inputs from the kernel team.  I also think
it's their place to decide which topic branch to merge it.
Could you please mention this Debbugs message on the PR?

I think misc-world-rebuild could be a good topic branch for it
(<https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/8248> right?).

It's not you, it's me, I only posted to guix-patches
as required for a topic branch merge request, so probably
most people are not aware of it.

Best wishes,
