    This package has "libunwind-dev" in Provides, but it's not fully compatible with the real libunwind-dev package. Notably, it lacks the pkg-config file, and there are quite a few users of that:

    https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%5CbPKG_CHECK_MODULES%5Cb.%2A%5Cblibunwind%5Cb
    ...

    This is a constant source of confusion and FTBFS, e.g.: https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=frr&ver=10.2.1-4

    Please remove the Provides: libunwind-dev before trixie.

    The Provides+Conflicts: libunwind-x.y-dev is already sufficient to
    ensure that not more than one of the LLVM libunwind-*-dev is installed
    at the same time.

    Will this happen for trixie? If not, is this bug (and #1027451,
    #1100481, #1100483) really release-critical?

    It seems like it would be possible to do this, so I'm wondering why
    it wasn't done. Probably there's some hidden blocker which I've missed.

    If so, it'd be nice to not have these bugs show up on the UDD
    search for trixie.
