Thanks for doing that research. We're working on 5.7 at the moment, and
I've dropped the dependency in my local branch but not pushed it yet. So
this should get fixed in testing and unstable soon, when we upload 5.7.

5.5 is pending removal (#811158) so we won't fix it there. I presume
this isn't severe enough to justify fixing in stable?
