Re: PgBouncer 1.24.0 - New upstream version

Skipping this release for bullseye is not entirely unreasonable with Trixie
pending.

Skipping the entire suite feels unreasonable if the Postgres Debian team
releases 1.24.

I am working up a patch that will skip only these tests that will likely be
accepted upstream as well, should Debian choose to release 1.24 for
bullseye.
