I uploaded the fixed 3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u7 version to buster-security
at Wed Jul 22 14:02:48 2020 +0300, which is 29 hours ago, and which
was before this bug has been reopened, too. It should be available
in the archives once the infrastructure catches up, we had another
issue to solve with other bug elsewhere prevented this version to
compile.

You just received my reply as the original reporter of this bug.
It wasn't targetted at you really. I'm sorry about that.

It *is* important, I agreed. It definitely is not critical, it does
not break other software in any way, it does not do its function.
Yes this affects other software, just like many many other cases -
e.g. a bug in glibc might affect many other programs, but this does
not mean it *breaks* other programs, it is just a bug in certain
use case of glibc. It is very important nevertheless to fix it
as soon as possible, and I used all my energy to fix this very
issue in qemu as soon as I can, - it isn't always a 5-minute
job to identify the problem and find a solution to it. I done
my part, now we're all waiting for the updated version to show
up.
