Thanks Ivan. I searched for this bug both in Github and in the Debian
BTS and found nothing prior to filing the report, but I did not review
the release notes. Sorry about that.  In attempt to improve my own
procedure, I found the Debian release notes here:

  https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/t/toot/toot_0.34.1-1_changelog

They neglect to mention the fix, which is documented here:

  https://github.com/ihabunek/toot/releases?page=2

In the future, I will try to remember to check both sets of release
notes (Debian & upstream) before filing.

Since the upstream release notes are made available, the Debian policy
suggests that maintainers to include them in the distro release notes.
So I have submitted a separate (downstream) bug report for this but it
has not yet been assigned a number.

Perhaps eventually. I appreciate the information. But it’s important
to realize that upgrading a whole Debian system is not to be taken
lightly. People like myself keep various quite fragile pkgs on
life-support which are easily broken in upgrades. I’ve seen the havoc
and catastrophe dist upgrade can cause. Risks often far outweight the
benefits particularly in this case. It also requires having high-speed
unlimited broadband access. Sometimes either a hot site or cold site,
backups, roll-back contingencies, etc. It’s a big deal. The
undertaking would a crazy remedy to the bug herein, or for anything
toot related for that matter.

Most importantly: oldstable is still officially supported for another
year¹ from now.

Bug reports are essential for QA. It’s better to advocate for bug
reports, not push for their suppression.

Please read the “Don't file bugs upstream” section of the bug
reporting procedure².
