So it looks like the proposal here is to backport the impish version of
crash back through focal, which means an upstream version bump.
Resolving the issue in this way normally requires a documented special
case to the SRU process[*], and I don't see one that includes the crash
package.

I'd be supportive of such a special case for crash as this package
usually needs updates to support new HWE kernels (same w/ makedumpfile)
but, unless an ubuntu-sru-team members says differently, I think we need
to go through that process first. Cascardo: would you mind drafting a
special case page?

Alternatively, we could investigate if there's a more surgical way to
add support for the desired kernels to the crash version already in
focal.
