Thanks.  That is a good approach.
I have reviewed the patch, and it LGTM, so:

Reviewed-by: Ian Jackson <[email protected]>

I have made an MR of this on Salsa, so that we get a CI run there:
  https://salsa.debian.org/iwj/hippotat/-/merge_requests/53


Assuming it merges, I would appreciate it if you would do the actual
upload, using a git-based workflow.  (I won't be able to do the upload
myself right now because of a problem with my PGP key.  That is going
to take some weeks to sort out, most likely.)

I think the recipe for such an upload would be
  git clone https://salsa.debian.org/iwj/hippotat
  cd hippotat
  dgit fetch
  diff -u hippotat.debdiff <(git diff dgit/dgit/sid..main)
  # ^ to verify that the changes are as expected
  #   and avoid critical relyiance on salsa, or this email
  dgit push-source sid

If you don't have time to do this I will probably ask Sean Whitton to
do it - he has been sponsoring my GCC-15 uploads.

(Normally I would deal with a situation like this by making an
upstream release, but an upstream release ought to be signed with my
PGP key so I can't do that right now.)

Regards,
Ian.
