A patch for the problem has been merged to upstream:
https://salsa.debian.org/freedombox-
team/freedombox/-/merge_requests/1824 . Please consider applying this
patch and uploading the latest version of FreedomBox into Ubuntu. If it
make it any easier for you, I can request our release manager (James) to
make an emergency release 20.10.1 with this patch in it.

We will also be redoing the approach for backports differently in
upcoming releases. See: https://salsa.debian.org/freedombox-
team/freedombox/-/issues/1855

Off topic:

We, of the FreedomBox team, would love to see FreedomBox work well in
Ubuntu. We can make this happen by:

- Uploading FreedomBox regularly to Ubuntu (we have a two week release cycle) 
perhaps with the help of an Ubuntu maintainer.
- Update our test pipelines to run our functional test suite regularly on 
Ubuntu.
- Plan for Ubuntu LTS releases in addition to Debian stable releases, if we can.

If someone from Ubuntu who can help us to make this happen, please get
in touch.
