Please send a backport request if its not already done so and Cc Steve 
Sakoman ( dunfell maintainer ), also  check the supported hosts list for 
dunfell

https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/3.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#detailed-supported-distros

this case is not seen on commonly supported distros hence no request to 
backport perhaps. Debian testing is rolling distibution and its hard to 
support time based releases on top of rolling host distributions.

I know its confusing but
For OE-core and bitbake too, patchwork is not primary tool for 
cherry-picking patches from mailing list, its email based, since its 
primarily driven by maintainer's convenience more than anything else. so 
dont read into status of the patchwork series status.
