I assume you mean all the "Improve file mode handling" related changes
here? And with backport do you mean cherry-picking those and preparing
a stable update, or doing a stable backport?

The code has seen some code churn/cleanup so cherry-picking feels
dangerous for a stable update, more so given that it would lose all
the testing from buster/sid, it would also involve including new
features and config file changes, so I'd be quite hesitant to do that.

If you mean a package backport, I'd be fine with that, and don't mind
if you'd want to prepare/maintain it?

Thanks,
