As the author/merger of these changes, I would support an unblock and
have no reason to suspect that this might cause a regression,
especially given the codepaths that were modified.

However, the problems that this version fixes are relatively minor and
were actually to address issues that were initially discovered in
openSUSE, not Debian. They do affect Debian, but this remark provides
some insight on the impact of the issue in Debian itself.

However, as Holger mentions, the strongest argument for an unblock is
the following:

Either way though, it's always nice to minimise the diff, but I would
perfectly understand if this is rather too late.
