Hi Chris,

Thanks for considering to fix bugs in stretch.

Please use the process described in [1] to ensure we will get to look at it:

 1) The current bug metadata suggests it affects sid.  Please ensure the
    bug is resolved in sid (by fixing it in sid or correcting bug
    metadata as appropriate).

 2) File an opu (and a separate pu bug if it also affects buster) with
    the full debdiff (including changelog). This ensures that the stable
    release team will get have a look at the issue.


We are quite insisting on 2) as it is very hard for us to keep track of
non-bugs requests.  This is a lesson learned time and again (both for us
and Debian contributors).


As for your concrete diff (IANASRM, but my personally take is that): It
looks like something we would accept as stable update. Note that [1]
describes some short cuts that may or may not be applicable to your
situation.

Thanks,
~Niels
