Okay, I hadn't looked at the previous conversations because this change is
in the upstream and in debian...

Upstream is fine, it's a valid change so that people don't keep sending
the crazy patch over and over.

Debian is just cargo-culting the thing and should probably drop it as it
keeps coming back to me every 3 months or so, and I have to reject it
again :(

thanks,

Why didn't you follow the upstream or add a comment "no change for fake CVE-2017-0605" to break the debian patch ?

In short, I accuse the Debian kernel team in my defense, it's up to them to buy you a beer :)

Thanks.

Best regards,

Loic
