Only because I didn’t notice before sending off the patch set ;)
I’ll drop it before merging the patches.

Good good.  Could be that the difference between 3.39 and 3.40 is just
not big enough to matter.  What does matter is that it’s not just
“sqlite” but something more recent.

I’ve been refreshing this page since I submitted the patch set; good to
know that the problems here are unexpected.

I have previously built packages with these changes on berlin, so there
are substitutes already.  I’ll go ahead and merge it if you have no
objections.

Thank you for the review!
