Thank you very much for putting this patch together!

I noticed that the person who fixed the bug upstream said that 4 commits
were needed [0], but this patch (and Debian's and Nix's) are missing the
first in that person's list, 828bd2963cd10.

I'm going to ask upstream to clarify but, in the meantime, do you know
why this patch is not included?
