Excellent! I have raised a new MR !9 that is specifically the commits I
propose we upload to experimental first:

 1. Apply the Ubuntu patch commit untouched.
 2. Add DEP-3 metadata suitable for its new state in Debian.
 3. Add the autopkgtest that should help the package through the freeze.
 4. A changelog suitable for this proposed upload.

Then I will rebase the general packet refresh MR !8 at a suitable future
time.
