Let's not forget that Debian is patch happy (as is Ubuntu, logically), especially for gcc. Mostly for good reason but quite a bit is too many diffs: https://sources.debian.org/src/gcc-7/7.3.0-11/debian/patches/ It's quite possible that the snapshot plus diffs fixes/hides the bug on Debian. Fedora is another distro that is very happy to carry many diffs for some packages. Thinks of the version string like git-gc-7.3.1+dirty in mainstream distros. It's like a downstream branch.
