   NOTE: 20201129: buster-pu in #975932, will backport when in buster (bunk)

This is my note from November, and this is a fake claim.

Before you've added your notes a month later this was the last note,
and if you did not look at the bug before doing anything else that's 
something you should learn a lesson from.

Usually people ask when a note is unclear.

To avoid duplicate work, usually people ask before working on a package 
someone else seems to have worked on before.
