A follow-up to this bug report: Due to the breakage caused by the (old) ess
package, I (as maintainer of the Debian package) now received the note that
the ess / elpa-ess packages will be archived away from Debian unstable as
they make Emacs 28.1 uninstallable.
So future Debian releases will not have ess / elpa-ess package. Of course
installation from other sources remains possible.
We debated here for some time what to do about a new ESS release, but with
nothing concrete to show, and this is now a consequence of (in)action. We
are all between a rock and a hard place: the upstream is 'not quite right'
for a release so none happens, yet Debian users want Emacs 28.1. So there.
