On all previous Percona Server for MySQL 8.4.x releases, mysql_config_editor was always bundled with libperconaserverclient22-dev, but since Percona for MySQL Server 8.4.8-8, libperconaserverclient22 is no longer compatible and gets removed by a full-upgrade:
$ apt upgrade -V
Not upgrading:
percona-server-client (8.4.7-7-1.trixie => 8.4.8-8-1.trixie)

REMOVING:
libperconaserverclient22 libperconaserverclient22-dev
Is that intended or do we just need to wait for updated libperconaserverclient22 / libperconaserverclient22-dev packages? Definitely need mysql_config_editor and don’t want to mix Percona packages with MariaDB or any other dist packages.
Enabled repos:
$ percona-release show
The following repositories are enabled on your system:
prel - release
ps-84-lts - release
pt - release
telemetry - release
and btw, I find it quite confusing that this forum misses a Percona Server for MySQL 8.4 category. Is this category meant for all latest versions?
Well that problem seems to exist in pxc-84-lts, too.
Right now there is no such package
