Currently I figured out a way to apply it - I simply build samba .deb package from source (i.e. deb-src), manually apply the patch and then install local version of the package. That's all great until I'm testing this on x86 architecture (because the compilation is relatively quick), however I intend to put everything to sbc board as a headless print server. In order to avoid compilation on the sbc, I could create a virtual machine and do a cross-compilation but it seems like a massive overkill just to introduce a one-liner patch, plus it wouldn't survive any of the potential upgrades

Hi,

I'm sorry, but I won't apply this patch to buster. You can use bullseye instead.
