I raised this bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1001539
It is similar to the one you mention.

I am struggling to understand why debian would not move to the bug
fixed version from upstream xorgxrdp ?
Just to clarify, Debian has picked version 0.2.12 fairly randomly,
without ever testing it.
Version 0.2.12 results in xrdp having zero functionality.  Think P1 here.
The author of xorgxrdp acknowledges that 0.2.12 is faulty and should
not be used at all, because it does not work at all.
The author recommends moving to a version that actually works!
But will Debian upgrade it...
"Generally no, at least not in bullseye..."

Where is the logic in that?
