Over on https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/bugs-script/show_bug.cgi?id=4227
upstream suggested two different things:

 - upgrade to 1.9.2, (which incorporates this and several other bugfixes), or

 - cherry-pick a list of other commits which they think are also
   relevant to this specific fix:

    348cbab016f824a336b65d0091310fe5cd58e762
    2b47ca080eb91e209fb86cd1dc90a6aff32e2a1f

   and four more, related to spoolbuf:
   
    0b77c9d6763686264d44dfd926c8cb4f2f03a43a
    6067ce6d2b82ce2e80055e578fdfd7ba3e67c523
    af6c5dea43fc63452d49b2339e607365b6652987
    a08fe8ca609b651c8d8c8379780aad508d492421

I'm assuming that the release team would prefer that we go the latter
route (cherry-picked patches), but i haven't tried to get a direct
verdict from them on that.

I confess i don't really understand the way that unbound's buster
packaging is working -- i think it's neither git-dpm nor gbp -- so i
don't exactly know how i'd assemble an update for the next buster point
release without overhauling it.  (i'd be fine with overhauling it to use
gbp (as i think the unstable version of the packaging is) as long as
you're ok with that, but i also don't know whether that would make the
changes more unpleasant for the release team.

Any suggestions?
