The conflicts concerns file which have been moved out of the ports/
directory. The changes to generic/open.c and generic/open64.c should
therefore be applied to these files on the ports directory. There are
used by arm64 so we also want the bug to be fixed there.
I'll get the bug fixed by backporting this commit to the upstream 2.19
stable branch, and then pull this branch in the debian package.

I am still doing tests for other fixes we have pending, I expect to open
a bug report against release.debian.org for an upload to stable in the
next days. If it get accepted, that should be in time for 8.6.

Indeed, and the fix looks straightforward and easily reviewable.
