calibre-server no longer installs on Raspberry Pi

Up to and including Calibre 3.23, all versions Calibre 3.x were installable on Raspberry Pi (on top of Raspbian OS's own Calibre 2.75.1) using the .deb installers here:

http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/rasp...ain/c/calibre/

But this suddenly changed 11+ days ago with 3.24.2, and 3.25 unfortunately also fails since then

This is what used to work, since 2017:
echo "deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ testing main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rpi-testing.list
apt update
apt -y install calibre calibre-bin

The error is:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
calibre : Depends: python-pyqt5 (>= 5.10.1+dfsg-2) but 5.10.1+dfsg-1+rpi1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Hit:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu xenial InRelease
Hit:2 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch InRelease
Hit:3 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian stretch InRelease

What else should we try?!

PS does anyone know who is packaging for Raspbian, within http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org, such that we might hopefully contact them too?

CLARIF: this is part of Internet-in-a-Box (https://github.com/iiab, formerly known as http://SchoolServer.org by One Laptop Per Child) that is used broadly by schools in the developing world. Teachers on many continents are Very Eager for a solution (:
