Why is this relatively small change a problem in a package where
new upstream versions are permitted after the release of stable?
Doing a change in 2.24.2-2 prior to the release sounds less risky than
uploading the same change as part of 2.24.3-1~deb10u1 to buster-pu.

This means the default desktop is expected to have crashes due to this.
Many standalone applications like liferea or zenity (#930932)
are also expected to crash.
Please mention in all buster announcements that users on non-SSE i386
should defer upgrading from stretch until this is fixed in the next
point release of buster.
