In the general case, I agree. But here we have already tagged -rc1, and
we try to not merge version bumps so close to the release. And in the
context of Buildroot, fakeroot is used by *everybody*, so any
regression can cause issues to a significant number of users.

So I'd prefer to see the problem fixed for 1.20, so that we can apply
the fix on master, and then have the version bump to 1.24 in next.

Thanks!
