It looks like (for Jammy, at least) there is an in-archive consumer of
libwpebackend-fdo-1.0-1 - cog. We need at least a minimal smoke test for
SRU verification, and that should suffice. I don't have a Jammy system
handy, and cog isn't in the archives post-Jammy - could someone please
cook up a minimal test case using cog?

Title:
Update to the upstream 1.12.1 bugfix version
Status in wpebackend-fdo package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in wpebackend-fdo source package in Jammy:
Incomplete
Bug description:
* Impact
The update fixes memory handling issues which could potential have
security implication. It was requested by the MIR team on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpebackend-
fdo/+bug/1973033/comments/11 as we need to promote the package for
incoming webkitgtk security updates
Fedora issues an update on similar concern
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-f98ab9f311
* Testcase
Unfortunately it's not easy to test wpebackend-fdo since the project
has no tests nor demo utility. The backend is used mostly by webkitgtk
but the current archive version is built without that option. It is a
requirement for newer webkitgtk series though and such for incoming
security update (since newer webkitgtk series are rolled out as
security updates)
* Regression potential
The changes are small fixes for memory management issues but if those
were wrong then it could lead to rendering issues or crashes in
webkitgtk clients once webkitgtk is build with libwpe.
