-FIXME: Jan-Benedict Glaw also contributed patches for improved NetBSD testing; Mattia and Holger updated the configurations to start testing trixie etc, basically stopped testing buster; Holger and Vagrant updated all of our 35 hosts running Debian amd64|armhf|i386 to bookworm (with the exception of jenkins itself, which will be upgraded after 12.1).
+Holger and Vagrant Cascadian updated all thirty-five hosts running Debian on the `amd64`, `armhf`, and `i386` architectures to Debian *bookworm*, with the exception of the Jenkins host itself which will be upgraded after the release of Debian 12.1.

And working together with Holger, Mattia also updated the Jenkins configuration to start testing Debian *trixie* which resulted in stopped testing Debian *buster*. And, finally, Jan-Benedict Glaw contributed patches for improved NetBSD testing.
