Why not? The [freeze policy] states that, even in full freeze, fixes for important bugs are appropriate, as long as they can be done via unstable (as it is currently the case for mpv). [freeze policy]: <https://release.debian.org/bookworm/freeze_policy.html> I have just filed bug [#1033595], in order to request that the patches you cited are applied to mpv. [#1033595]: <https://bugs.debian.org/1033595> I hope this can be the way to go. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!
