Optional pkgs are not frozen, just new upstream versions discouraged.
Bugzilla is a very special case, it had a few security gotchas which
justify major upgrading. But for that, current package has a postinst

Moritz Muehlenhoff change it to work properly? That if you had no
time to work on it now.
