Awesome! As an Emacs user I look forward to many more years with ESS on Debian and Ubuntu and I will join Camm in the ranks for 'former ESS maintainers' :) You know where upstream lives, and may already be on the low-volume ess-help (and/or ess-announce) list(s) but it may make sense to lurk.

See https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-help/2022-September/thread.html and _many_ earlier threads over the years bemoaning (in more polite words) the irritating stale mate among that team and the inability to make a release for four years now.

Would you be willing to consider shipping a snapshot of the git repository (as is available on MELPA)? This would be a temporary solution until upstream finally makes a formal release. Otherwise it looks like ESS will not be part of bookworm… Shipping a git snapshot is established practice in Debian, especially for situations like the present one. I am willing to help if needed.

Gregory, That is a problem, and it is somewhat know. ESS used to release every six or so months, now we are many years behind with no official release. Your best bet may be to install directly from melpa and removing the package. I will bring this to the ESS list but last time this was brought up everybody more or less agreed but no release tarball was made because "it's complicated".
