https://www.beuc.net/tmp/debian-lts/rails/ is updated.
Upstream showed little care for 4.x and I don't expect further feedback,
so I went ahead and backported:
https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/d9ff835b99ff3c7567ccde9b1379b4deeabee32f
to fix the regression, including tests.
Rationale at:
https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/39301#issuecomment-648885623
Note: redmine/stretch (< 3.4) was not affected by the regression.
Cheers!
Sylvain
