Yes, I could.

I am aware of that. I was hoping to get through with this given that the
version was in unstable for quite some time and didn't migrate due to
the s390x issue.
Given that 2.50.0 landet in unstable I'm out of me selling skills here.
Unless Jonathan has some selling points here I will prepare a version
against t-p-u as suggested above.
