Hi Sudip,

Thanks for debugging, backporting, and submitting a patch!
Nice touch on the DEP-3 headers.

Just a style/cosmetic _suggestion_ that is helpful: in the
future, please list the .patch file in d/changelog; e.g.,
'* d/p/fix-segfault.patch: Fix segfault with binhex, frommac and tomac. (LP: 
#1892558)'

And just for documentation purposes:
> There is no change in code, only the relevant header file has been included.
> And, so there are minimum chances of a regression.

The inclusion of a header file even 'without code changes'
may actually cause code changes _indirectly_. For example,
a header file defines a macro that is checked in the source
file (to change code paths) with a preprocessor #if/#ifdef.

This is _not_ the case here, as the included headers only
define the function prototypes, and nothing else/no macro;
so it looks good!

I also confirmed that the newer releases have the change
and are not affected.

Accepting macutils to focal-proposed.
Thanks again!
