securedrop-export_0.2.6-dev-20220616-061827+bullseye_all.deb is uninstallable because of unmet dependencies from:

After initial research, my understanding is that, while both task-print-server and xpp have been removed from Debian stable as of bullseye:

  1. task-print-server we can remove entirely, since we have explicit Depends for both cups and system-config-printer, which should be able to take advantage of bullseye's "driverless" printing via ipp-usb; whereas
  2. xpp we'll have to test and host ourselves, as we now do for paxctld, because it's explicitly invoked by securedrop-export.

I'll prepare pull requests based on this interpretation, but I'd appreciate confirmation from @creviera and @legoktm about (respectively) the Client- and Debian-specific points here.

host buster's xpp
5a6ef1c 
Towards freedomofpress/securedrop-builder#343.  xpp has been
removed[1] from Debian stable, but we still invoke it directly in
securedrop-export.  Until we replace xpp entirely (see
freedomofpress/securedrop-workstation#564), we'll need to provide
buster's xpp for bullseye.  We can do that by committing buster's last
".deb" directly, rather than mirroring it, since we know it won't be
updated in the future.

build: remove task-print-server from "Depends"

Towards #343.  task-print-server is no longer available in bullseye.  We
retain explicit "Depends" specifications for cups and
system-config-printer.
