Mh, that's not correct though?!

How do you call this otherwise? https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/harfbuzz

What is still missing is harfbuzz-subset, which will come with version 3
of it though.  But it's an optional dependency so "can't be built" is
surely wrong.

BTW, 1.5.7 is available from the Debian repositories, so unless you
really have a need for the SVN snapshot you can probably make do with
that.
Uh, actually now I remember that Debian 11 only has 1.5.6.1… let me
upload 1.5.7 to bullseye-backports.

Ubuntu has the same harfbuzz that Debian has, fwiw.
