Just a request to bump this bug. While the original submitter's request (at 4.2, requesting an upgrade to 4.4 in July 2023) has been addressed with the present version (4.4), darktable has moved on to 4.6, as of December 2023.
See: https://www.darktable.org/news/ At maintainers' convenience, please update the package :)! Thank you! Charlie
