Sigh, I got the impression from Gianfranco that nobody upstream was
working on this, or I wouldn't have spent time on a patch.

Thanks for the link - I've followed up in the ticket above.

If an upstream patch is actually being worked on but needs more time,
we can drop boinc temporarily from testing and then it can reenter once
patched.

Cheers,
