I'm not sure I follow, I don't see it fixed in unstable, maybe you meant in git? In any case, I think a minimal fix like the one attached in this bug has a pretty high chance of being accepted, similar fixes have been unblocked recently. I'd be glad to upload such a package, either after a pre-approval unblock request to the release team, or before followed by an unblock request. Let me know how (or if) you want to proceed. Regardless of this, please let me know after the freeze in case you need a sponsor to upload a new version for this package.
