Yes, it would be great if you could check that the patch still applies, that it does indeed fix the package build, and post that info back to the debian bug (not bugzilla, but I assume you meant 'the bug system' here). It's a good idea to check that the fix for arm64 doesn't break the build on x86 (by doing a native build too). 'Works' in this case is largely a matter of 'builds on arm64, where it didn't build before). Testing package functionality is harder if the build itself does not run tests. I would not worry too much about that unless it it very easy to test. Thanks for taking an interest. I'm happy to help do the actual uploads of stuff you've checked.
