Found another problem with the upgrade of my server to trixie -- IP forwarding no longer worked.
This really was a #systemd issue, caused by the use of systemd-sysctl. The upgrade renamed /etc/sysctl.conf so that it no longer took effect; I had to create a file in /etc/sysctl.d/ with the relevant setting.
I think this should have been in the #Debian wiki, if not the #ReleaseNotes
