Thank you for your bug report and your patch. It appears to me that your change would make sense for upstream to consider, as according to you there is a bug with cross building in fio's own configure logic. If so it might make the most sense to propose the change to upstream via f...@vger.kernel.org (cc to Jens Axboe <ax...@kernel.dk> and me please), in order to keep the Debian diff to a minimum. Especially as your patch changes several non-consecutive lines. Otherwise and probably interim I would carry the change in the package: According to the debdiff your patch does not contain a Author: and Description: line. Please add those. Please consider issuing a merge request for your change then¹. I do not consider this change to be important enough to warrant a freeze exception for Buster.
