yep, "excluding" is the last resort, but usually it's more likely the

Rolling back to a working version is legal and also possible, if the
dependent packages (ccnet, ...) don't require the functionality added
in 1.3.1.

sounds like a weird upstream without a way to report issues ...
We can add the libsearpc package on our team's todo list, but without an
ETA.
