There are two blockers: 1) we're in the transitions freeze, so updating pikepdf would need permission from the release team 2) pikepdf has undergone a license change, and someone on the Debian side needs to look over upstream's work in contacting all copyright holders and having them okay it, and d/copyright needs updating. Additionally, new releases of pikepdf typically involve a lot of work updating d/copyright for new test resources. So, perhaps we could just backport the fix? -- Sean Whitton
