We've got a patch from upstream, which has been pushed onto salsa.
I did not test it myself, but I would assume that it solves the
issue.

I'd like to upload ASAP. Unfortunately the autopkg test fails for
risc64 and the package would not migrate to testing. I tried to
reproduce the issue on ricci, but failed. For now I would disable the
one failing test and look at it later. Let me know if this would be
OK for you.
