  Please sync xz-utils 5.6.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)
  
  Hello! I am one of the upstream maintainers for XZ Utils. Version 5.6.1
  was recently released and uploaded to Debian as a bugfix only release.
  Notably, this fixes a bug that causes Valgrind to issue a warning on
  any application dynamically linked with liblzma. This includes a lot of
  important applications. This could break build scripts and test
  pipelines that expect specific output from Valgrind in order to pass.
  
  Additionally, this fixes a small typo for the man pages translations
  for Brazilian Portuguese, German, French, Korean, Romanian, and
  Ukrainian, and removes the need for patches applied for version
  5.6.0-0.2.
  
  The other bugfixes in this release have no impact on Ubuntu. They
  involve building with CMake or when building on a system without
  Landlock system calls defined (these are defined in Ubuntu).
  
  Changelog entries since current noble version 5.6.0-0.2:
  
  xz-utils (5.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
  
    * Non-maintainer upload.
    * Import 5.6.1 (Closes: #1067708).
    * Takeover maintenance of the package.

  Excerpt from the NEWS entry from upstream:
  
  5.6.1 (2024-03-09)
  
-     * liblzma: Fixed two bugs relating to GNU indirect function (IFUNC)
-       with GCC. The more serious bug caused a program linked with
-       liblzma to crash on start up if the flag -fprofile-generate was
-       used to build liblzma. The second bug caused liblzma to falsely
-       report an invalid write to Valgrind when loading liblzma.
