Thanks Andrius for catching this!

I took the liberty to implement the change you suggest, and push
to Salsa [1].  Since this is an RC bug which propagates on
several packages, and since it would have to go through NEW, for
manual review; I thought that time would be of the essence.
Normally, my change builds, passes autopkgtest, and passes
piuparts, but I am not against a second pair of eyes to make
sure things are alright.

(I left the changelog entry unreleased, to leave room for
 further changes prior upload if you deem needed.)

Have a nice day,  :)
