Ack. Although, you *could* help them find a solution. RC bugs in key
packages are a shared responsibility in my opinion.

I suggested to upload the current version to tpu. I'll unblock it if no
further changes to what is currently in unstable and if it happens
within a week or two.

It depends [1]:
1. if it entails a dropped/re-added binary, it needs to happen before
the Soft Freeze (12-02-2021)
2. if it doesn't involve that, it needs to happen before the Hard Freeze
(12-03-2021).
