upgrade to Debian Bookworm : use backports for libapache2-request-perl and libapache2-mod-apreq2?

Hi list,

I upgraded a machine from Debian Bullseye to Debian Bookworm. Kind of a bumpy road, as libapache2-request-perl ended up uninstalled. I had to add :

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main

to my sources.list to re-install libapache2-request-perl and upgrade libapache2-mod-apreq2 to the latest version. This worries me about future upgrades, as it complicates them.

Do you know why these packages are now in backports, instead of main?

Links to concerned packages :

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm-backports/libapache2-request-perl

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm-backports/libapache2-mod-apreq2

The httpd project fucked it up, and won’t unfuck it with a valid release.

mmmmhhh... Thank you for the information.

Would you say the packages will return to main, eventually, we just don't know when?
