Comment 13 for bug 1826737

[sts-sponsors[hirsute]

In the absence of a reply from Debian, I have sponsored the patchset in Hirsute.

My preference would have been to have a version bump but nevertheless, the request to bump the version is still opened, and it's not too late for us to sync with Debian once done if this still fit with the current Hirsute freeze schedule: (or worse case scenario for next active devel release)
