I get that. I asked because Andrea Corbellini had mentioned the latest
updates while changing the importance of Hardy, so, I'm not sure, I thought
he was talking about the latest Hardy updates. If (he could confirm and) you
could test it on Hardy, and it works there, then maybe we could see about a
possible backport to fix this?

Also, maybe it was declined because we'd need to release a new kernel
package and that wouldn't be possible for this? Again, I'm not sure, just
thinking out loud.
