Uplaoding 1.2.1+dfsg-1 + CVE fix cannot work. We have already released
1.2.1+dfsg-2+deb10u1 in the security archives, so any version we pick
to fix issues need to be highter, no matter if we do several rollbacks
or only the #975372 fix.

So we need in any case 1.2.1+dfsg-2+deb10u2 (no matter if "complete"
rollback, or just the bugfix).

Given the move of the logdir and systemd unit has now been done with
the DSA, I think my preference would be to only just address the
"fallout" from the logdir move and so adress #975372.

Adam D. Barratt is Cc'ed in this message, who is a stable release
managers in case he would like to indicate a preference.

Adam would that be fine with you with your SRM hat on, to let all the
-2 changes pass to stable (agreeing that that would usually not be
stable material under normal cicumstances) and so just address the
introduced #975372?

Personally I would have said fixing it in the upcoming point release
is enough evne though the issue was introduced via a DSA. But the
point release date is not settled yet, and Moritz indicated offlist as
well that a regression update via a DSA is fine.

So in short: let's try to adress this with a regression update via a
DSA.
