[zrewobac] Debian t64 suffix packages

the plethora of packages whose names end in "t64" recently added to Debian Sid (Unstable) change the time_t data type from 32 to 64 bits, pushing off the Year 2038 Problem to the year 292,277,026,596.  (previously, 835 bits should be enough for everyone.)

some package examples seen starting 2024-02-28:
libapt-pkg6.0t64
libdb5.3t64
libpam0t64
libssl3t64
