I tend to agree with Lucas that this is a wishlist bug. As such, it's better if we wait until upstream makes a new release and Debian picks up this patch, which will then mean that Ubuntu will also have the patch when the next merge is done.
I don't think we should backport this to Impish because of the above. If, during the next cycle (LTS), we notice that Debian will not have this feature available in time, then we can reassess the need to backport it.
