For users using Debian unstable and even there it was apparently fixed/improved after a week.
Debian stable users had no "wild ride" and for the future became the choice to select between the full featured keepassxc version and a minimal variant without non-essential network and IPC features.
And regardless of how you feel about the default the way they went about it broke things for users and made more work KeePassXC's maintainers.
You might disagree but given how easily it could've been avoided I think it's pretty wild.
