Public bug reported:

please let's backport Python 3.14.5 to 26.04 LTS. The main reason for
that backport is the reversion of the  incremental garbage collector in
in both 3.14 and 3.15 to the more conservative garbage collector used in
3.13 and before. See

https://discuss.python.org/t/reverting-the-incremental-gc-in-
python-3-14-and-3-15/107014

We did backports of minor Python 3.x.y release also in the past, having
as backport criterium

 - builds on all architectures
 - doesn't fail tests on any architecture (can't test on riscv64)
 - passes autopkg tests
 - rebuild of main doesn't show any regressions
 - 3.14.5-1 has to migrate to the stonking release pocket first.

I'm proposing to do the same, (except for the last point) for the 3.14.5
backport (or if the SRU decision gets delayed, for 3.14.6), except for
the the test rebuild.

Avoiding the test rebuild because of the instability of the buildd
infrastructure, waiting for a more stable version, or if we have to use
the current unstable builders, but in this case, I'd like to combine
that test rebuild with the planned GCC backports for July/August, and
testing these updates together in one test rebuild.
