I would expect Adam Conrad (Ubuntu) and Aurelien Jarno (Debian) could work
together to get this backported for you if you ask them nicely. Any fixes on
master are OK for stable branch backports as long as they do not impact ABI/API
and this is the case here, so the backport meets established consensus.
