FWIW, I wonder what you actually mean with "newest commit" here: a
bisection between 6.1 and mainline HEAD might be a waste of time, *if*
this is something that only happens in 6.2.y (say due to a broken or
incomplete backport)

In my experience trying to deal with Linux distro's package managers
creates more trouble than it's worth.
