    I think we understand the issue well and the fix has been tested with
    the previous version of emacsen-common (which also means to reproduce
    one needs to use snapshot.d.o), so I wouldn't worry to much about the
    risk of the fix and would like to see this as part of Trixie to prevent
    any unforeseen failure.

    Let me know if you all agree and I'll prepare a new debian/trixie branch
    with the fixes only.

    I'm not concerned so much with the risk of the fix as with the necessity
    of it. I suggest filing a pre-approval bug with the release team to
    avoid extra work/uploads if they are not convinced.

    Since the bug is no longer reproducible in testing or unstable, I am (hopefully) downgrading the severity. This will reduce the annoyance for
    people using e.g. apt-listbugs to block the installation of packages
    with RC bugs.
