I've prepared a potential stable update at
https://github.com/xtaran/syslog-ng-debian/tree/debian/bullseye in
commit
https://github.com/xtaran/syslog-ng-debian/commit/4b508ba601f16b11378886f2626016816dcf0e2a

The patch is attached as well.

I'm now running this in production. It still has the "~abe1" suffix in
the version number (i.e. debian/changelog) in git so that any
potential security update overrides my local bugfix.

If you want to use this as real stable update, you need to remove that
safety guard suffix at least. Feel free to also bump the changelog
entry signature and replace "* Non-maintainer upload" with "[ Axel
Beckert ]".

Wanted to do a pull request for this, but Github doesn't seem to allow
pull requests which create new branches. And this shouldn't go into
any existing branch. So you need to pull or cherry-pick this on your
own into a debian/bullseye (or similar) branch.

The Stable Release Managers likely want to see that patch in Debian
Testing first, so you should probably start with updating Debian
Unstable to the latest upstream stable release and wait for that to
migrate to testing, before uploading any stable update package.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

		Regards, Axel
