Thank you for filing this bug.  I've been investigating armhf issues for
some time, while collaborating with upstream about corner cases and
races and locking issues other archs were encountering.  At this point I
think we finally have a working solution!  It was very inspiring to see
how to community came together upstream.  The solution was adding four
commits onto our 0.7.4+1 (cherry picked commit).

The delta between 0.7.1-4 and 0.7.4+5 (cherry picked commits, future
0.7.5) might reasonably be considered "medium"; although it solves a
*number* of RC bugs, and a lot of "million papercuts" user issues.
Consequently I believe that Debian bullseye should have 0.7.4+5.

Would you please advise me how to proceed with something like a
checklist before contacting the release-team?  My upload of 0.7.4-1 was
rushed, and I didn't include a full list of commits relative to 0.7.1-4.
Should I put the list of commits in the next changelog entry?  I believe
anyone reading the upstream commit history will agree that we should
have 0.7.5 (=0.7.4+5commits) is higher quality than 0.7.1-4, and that
that's the version we should have in Bullseye.

I hope that my failure to reply to this bug until now doesn't count
against the case--upstream can confirm I've been talking about armhf CI
failures since before this bug was filed ;-)

Kind regards,
Nicholas
