This is already fixed in unstable and testing but since
turning off dns resolution is a regular use case, I think it should be
fixed in stable, too.

Thanks; the patch for that bug looks fine.

The other important changes include a stricter versioned dependency
on debhelper
(>= 9) and a switch to source format 3.0 for applying the new patch
without further changes.

I'm afraid that neither of these is appropriate for an update to stable.

If the package does not have an existing patch system, then the changes should simply be applied directly; some maintainers find it helpful to maintain a patch file as part of the source package in such cases, even though it is not applied as part of the package build process.

Regards,

Adam
