Since when did you get those freezes? I'm not aware of any issues in any
of the many, many setups we have. There must be some additional variable
in play on your side.

If the upstream package in a specific debian version carries that
control field with "no" and our drop-in replacement recipe does not,
that should be fixed for that specific version. But we cannot globally
change things otherwise that easily (if at all).
