Thank you for contributing this fix!

Could you please expand on the Test Plan?

For manual testing, what are the exact steps that a user would perform, what results would indicate that the bug is present, and what results would indicate that the bug is fixed? For example, I don't see a command to run in https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf/issues/1050, or the expected results if the bug is fixed.

For automated testing, you said the tests aren't included in the patch. Why not? Could we include them instead, and therefore increase confidence in the correctness of the fix?

> qpdf has a rigorous test suite

This is great, but is this test suite run as part of the package build and publication process in Ubuntu? If not, how could we arrange to run the test suite against the Ubuntu build of the package that includes this patch to ensure that we aren't regressing unaffected users in providing this update?
