Cool! Then I'll file an ITP bug. I tried to find other native packages, and none of those I checked were closing any ITP bug in their first changelog entry.

I just now confirmed that the issue in Mapnik has been fixed upstream and I finally got osm-tile-server working in sid. I degraded #799473 to minor and filed #803985 instead [1].
