Thanks for raising this valid concern.

In addition to the counterpoints raised by Jeremy and Seb, I'd point out
that moving up the Debian import freeze would also be an obstacle to landing
the 64-bit time_t migration this cycle, which I think we definitely want to
do in 23.10, not in 24.04.

So I think we should keep the schedule as-is.
