Hey Rod, sorry!  This *is* on my TODO list, I just haven't had time to
pick it up yet.  It should be a pretty trivial bump.

To clarify though, it will be removed from testing, which is only a
temporary thing -- once the bug is fixed in unstable and the
appropriate time passes, it would migrate back into testing again.  As
long as we get it fixed and migrated back in before testing freeze,
all is well.  However, we've also got a decent amount of time before
it's even removed from testing (Sep 4), so I'd rather not urgently
upload a bump that I haven't tested, which is why this isn't fixed
yet.  (To make sure I didn't bork up the packaging, to be clear, not
because I don't have faith in your new upstream release! 💙)

I'll try to get the bump into Git ASAP
(https://salsa.debian.org/debian/refind, which you should have access
to as well, but if you don't we should fix that!), and see about when
I can get it tested and uploaded. 🙇
