Second proposal for Kinetic since removal will make for a lot of angry
Ubuntu (and Ubuntu Studio) users:

* FFe this in. Might be a hard sell, but if we don't, then we lose a
very high-profile application. Note that this bug has been worked-on
since early August, prior to Feature Freeze, so I think that makes a
very good case for a FFe.

** Summary changed:

- FTBFS with ffmpeg 5.x
+ [FFe] Audacity 3.1 for Kinetic (was 2.4.2 FTBFS with ffmpeg 5.x)

  FFmpeg 5.0 changed the API and it required a big patch for audacity:
  https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/3121/files

  Note that patch is on top of master, and Debian/Ubuntu still carry old
  version 2.4.2. To fix this, the package needs to be first updated to
  3.1.3 (or later), and then have that patch applied.

  Upstream issue (now resolved): https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/2445
  Debian RC bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1004598

  audacity was removed from debian testing today:
