Bookworm is OldStable, the current Stable is Trixie. Was this a mistake? Is it because the package has been removed from Forky?

Good catch, @Rudxain 🤔 This really should be updated to a stable "stable" link such as https://packages.debian.org/stable/gh where we don't have to update it based on lifecycle.
Going to open up a patch ✨
