Uwe: Thanks for the suggested workaround.

This is a security problem and defaults are important. The bug is
about the default behavior. Security by default calls for wise
defaults most particularly when there is no compelling justification
for reduced security by default.

MS Github is a place I will not go. It gives me problems.

It’s true that the defect is upstream. But it is also downstream and
the Debian project’s commitment to “provide an integrated system of
high-quality materials”¹ implies security as a goal, at least in my
interpretation. So reguardless of what happens upstream (e.g. if
upstream devs were hypothetically to reject the bug), it should still
be corrected in Debian nonetheless.

That said, I do not mean to impose work on anyone. But /wontfix/ is an
objectionable state for this bug. It should remain a live bug until it
is fixed in Debian (which could happen either by way of upstream
efforts or by a debian maintainer).
