Does the API vendor give any stability guarantees? It seems quite new and
we don't really want this same situation again. 

Since this package is not in oldstable, has relatively few users, and needs
a rewrite, have you considered removal from stable and providing it through
backports instead? That gives you a lot more flexibility throughout
bookworm's lifetime.

Thanks,

Bug#1061594: bookworm-pu: package vasttrafik-cli/1.9-1

[ Reason ]
The tool is a client to a public API.

The provider of the API has shut down the public API used by that version and
made a new one.

https://developer.vasttrafik.se/news/3

The new version of the package that is in sid uses the new API.

I just want to bump. The changes are rather extensive, it does not make sense
to backport them.

[ Impact ]

Without this, the package is completely unusable.

[ Tests ]

I tried it manually.

[ Risks ]

There are some changes in how the data is shown.

I doubt someone was parsing that output in a script. Anyway such eventual
script is broken in any case.

[ Checklist ]
  [ ] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [X] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [X] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]

Major changes to use the new API. The command line is compatible but the
output shows more information, so it is not entirely identical.
