   I think they should be fixed via the next point release, but have an   
   upload ideally accepted early to give it exposure to testers for   
   regressions.   
      
   A minor nitpick: You cannot choose 3.15.0+dfsg-2+deb13u1 as version as   
   3.15.0+dfsg-2.1 is the version which is in stable. So that would be   
   3.15.0+dfsg-2.1+deb13u1 .
