debian: grout marked for autoremoval on 16 September 2026

[Christoph]

Hi,

I was excited to see that grout is available in debian testing because 
that will help us with testing and to use it in production when forky 
becomes stable at some point, but [1] says:

> Marked for autoremoval on 16 September: #1144680 high
> Version 0.16.0-1 of grout is marked for autoremoval from testing on Wed 16 Sep 2026. It is affected by #1144680. You should try to prevent the removal by fixing these RC bugs.

Is this on someone's radar or is grout expected to be removed from debian?
