Are you actually seeing this with PV mode Xen guests? My understanding is that as it's about the keyboard driver, it can only affect HVM guests. I have installed several hundred Debian 10/11/12 Xen VMs in PV and PVH mode and never seen this issue. Also if not doing HVM, it is better to do PVH with Debian 10+, rather than PV. I'm afraid I have no suggestion on getting this bug fixed in Debian. A fix is obviously known as it is mentioned on the (linked) https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207695 but I seem to recall reading somewhere that this is controversial.
