    Hi,

    your package is part of the "key package set". These packages are
    not subject to autoremoval.
    Also, your package Build-Depends on mimalloc, and by extension
    mimalloc becomes part of the key package set. mimalloc has multiple
    open RC bugs and FTBFS on armhf.

    It would be great if you could investigate if your package can build
    without mimalloc and what the impact would be. For example if it is
    only needed for testing, annotating the build-dependency as
    <!nocheck> would be great. Then mimalloc can be removed from the key
    package set.

    Thanks,
    Chris
