Hi,

Short answer:

ipaserver-install fails (Debian bug #970880), but client works. Debian
'bullseye' will be frozen for release next month, so it's likely that it
comes only with the client, just like Ubuntu since 20.04. But miracles
could happen during the holidays..

Long answer:

The server worked fine back in April (with bind 9.11 forced in) when I
set up an Azure pipeline and worked through some kinks there to get
through the tests. Best coverage I got to was around 95% of all tests.
But since then things fell apart and I don't have a working baseline
anymore, and shoving updates on top of others haven't helped.. The
blocker bug is somewhere between Certmonger, Dogtag CA, Tomcat, and TLS.
We'll see how long it still takes until the bug is found and fixed..
