FTR: after reviewing the actually straightforward patch again with
others, it has been deployed for quite a while now on the instance
that affects pkgmaster.d.o (and therefore deb.d.o).

Deployment was simple and unsurprising:
1. disable cronjobs
2. wait for cronjobs to finish
3. backup
4. apply patch
5. run orchestrate and full merge manually + test locking for the
n-th time
6. re-enable cronjobs
