Please unblock package google-guest-agent

[ Reason ]

google-guest-agent 20211116.00-7 fixes an RC FTBFS bug. It's a minimal, targeted change prepared by the upstream maintainers. We're asking for it to be unblocked despite not currently being in testing. It is a leaf package with little risk of disuption to other packages in the distro.

[ Impact ]

Google-guest-agent is required in order to launch virtual machines on the Google cloud. Without it, Debian will be unable to publish functional cloud images targeting this environment. Please note that this would *not* be a regression, as we have not previously published official Debian images to the Google cloud, but it is a frequent user request, and doing so would reduce confusion caused by third-parties (including Google themselves) publishing Debian-like images including additional software.

[ Tests ]

The package runs its unit test suite during the build process, and the salsa pipeline runs piuparts and lintian as usual.

[ Risks ]

It's a leaf package that's installed on a limited, very specific configuration (Google cloud VMs). The change is minimal and targeted. So I would characterize this as low risk.

[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]

Note that the changelog entries for two NMUs (-6.1 and -6.2) didn't make it in to the git repository and thus show up as removed in the debdiff. The actual changes are present, though.
