Given this will require as well a rebuild of podman (at least, right?)
I would suggest you make a point release update which is now anyway
right around the corner:
https://release.debian.org/#point-releases

Can you fix thus buildah fist fo the point releases and ask for the
required packages to be rebuild which need it?

Salvatore
