I made the most basic mistake of all, forgot to mention which series are
affected by this issue...

The fix was initially requested for Bionic only, but it turns out that
Xenial is affected as well. For 4.4, the patch needs a bit of fuzzing
adjustment, so I will adapt it accordingly when applying to Xenial.


Thanks.
