Could you list the concerns that you have?

+  Security support?
  I see upstream comments that they will disclose the relevant
fix/commit for CVE, then it should be enough. I think most packages in
Debian rely on the Debian maintainer to backport the fix.
+ Lacking tests? (as per upstream concerns in the Github issue)
  Do you plan to enable all the tests? I see you have disabled many tests[1]
  Or even better, could you run the integration/e2e tests with
autopkgtest? For example, you can take a look at the containerd
package that I've maintained[2].
