"Just a backport" doesn't remove the request for a debdiff.
Indeed, looking at a debdiff gives, amongst the expected set of changes
to data and so on:
Build-Depends:
debhelper-compat (= 10),
- libgtk2.0-dev,
+ libgtk-3-dev,
switching GTK version isn't really the sort of change that would be
expected in a stable update, and has nothing to do with broken JSON
output so far as I can tell.
