The upload to stable-backports has been delayed due to the following issue:

> **[wireguard: KeyError prevents Apps page from rendering (#2579) · Issues ·...](https://salsa.debian.org/freedombox-team/freedombox/-/work_items/2579)**
>
> Steps to reproduce: Build freedombox 26.9~bpo13+1 package for trixie-backports from debian/trixie-backports branch. Bring up a fresh trixie container, skipping install of development...

As far as I can tell, Debian testing/unstable systems are not affected by this issue. It only appears when freedombox 26.9 is installed on a Debian stable (trixie) system.
