If you are committing yourself to solve the issues (as you say, one line NMUs possible) within a month or two, I suggest you go ahead now and don't defer. If you don't commit (also fine, you're a volunteer), I rather have this wait until after the release of trixie.
# Key packages
Do any of these packages have risky proper fixes? I prefer to not take too much risk here, so I'd prefer the single line "fix" than something that takes two or three uploads to get right. I assume that building with and without the patch and comparing with diffoscope should be able to proof you got a patch right, so I expect you can bring the risk to near zero.
* 157 bugs would become RC if we hit the button today.
From a social point of view, I would appreciate it if you actively help prevent autoremoval due to this change if you go forward with this before trixie.
