This is definitely a bug that we want to fix in Focal. But is this
particular code change the correct way to do it?
Won't reverting this commit regress the fix that was introduced by the
commit in the first place? I think this needs a proper analysis of the
possible implications for unaffected users, please, rather than just
blindly cherry-picking the revert from upstream.
I think maybe bug 1551020 would be reintroduced by this upload, for
example?
The test plan should also include verifying regular use cases that might
be impacted by this code change are not regressed, not just that this
particular bug is fixed.

Title:
Ping: checks payloads incorrectly, ignores all mismatch replies
Status in iputils package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in iputils source package in Focal:
Incomplete
Bug description:
= Impact =
the ping statistics are incorrect when dealing with truncated packets
= Test case =
$ ping -c 1 -s 1200 8.8.8.8
should list truncated replies and received packets
= Regression potential =
the changes are limited to the ping source any regression would impact
that utility, check that responses are correctly handled and
statistics reflecting what is expected
