Comment 9 for bug 1967814

You are right for a general stance of SRU minimality

But this case felt like fixing 7/8 of a single whole.
And while indeed your case didn't need this one more fix someone else would and we touch this code anyway. Vice versa all tests since this is upstream is done with it applied - so the coverage of the code with this added is better than without - so we also avoid unexpected side effects.
OTOH We would not fix something totally else like something in virtio as part of this, no matter how reasonable that patch might look like.

Let me know if you had time to push the PPA through your testing.
