It's a bit of a mischaracterization to say that "upstream will not fix the issue." In fact as you indicate it was fixed within a couple days in the master branches of affected projects. The mock pin in stable/kilo branches is a temporary measure and can be removed if all the broken tests are either removed or corrected (the assumption being that distro package maintainers who have an interest in that branch may volunteer to backport those patches from master if this is important to them). -- Jeremy Stanley
