Public bug reported:

[Impact]

 * python-pyelftools provides a pure-Python library to manipulate ELF
and DWARF files.

 * The version currently in Jammy (0.27-1) does not fully support the
DWARF 5 format, which unfortunately leads to many errors when using the
library to work with the ddeb files generated by the Ubuntu build
system.

 * These limitations are addressed in version 0.29-1, present in Kinetic
and Lunar -proposed.  Unfortunately, this new upstream version also
introduces new features which makes it unfit for an SRU.

[Scope]

 * I will backport python-pyelftools/0.29 from Kinetic.

 * I will backport python-pyelftools/0.29 to Jammy

[Other Info]

 * None so far.
