As per Robie's comment, I think we can safely release this as is.
Thanks!

Bug description:
  [impact]

  gzip/libgzip fails for systemd services using
  MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes

  [test case]

  note this only fails on ppc64el

  create service file /etc/systemd/system/test-localegen.service with
  content:

  [Service]
  MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes
  ExecStart=/usr/sbin/locale-gen

  run systemctl daemon-reload, and start the service:

  ubuntu@test-ppc-b:~$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  ubuntu@test-ppc-b:~$ sudo systemctl start test-localegen.service
  ubuntu@test-ppc-b:~$ sudo systemctl status test-localegen.service
  ○ test-localegen.service

  [regression potential]

  as this sets NO_ASM any regression would likely involve changed
  performance or architecture-specific failures

  [racb] As NO_ASM switches code implementations inside gzip, it's
  possible that this regresses behaviour if a bug exists in the C
  implementation but not in the assembly implementation. However in
  mitigation the C implementation has been in use since Focal, and it
  doesn't look like anything relevant to this change has been changed
  since Bionic.

  [scope]

  this is needed only in b

  this was fixed in debian at version 1.9-2.1, so this is fixed already
  in f and later
