Correct.

Using master @ de25d9c8c48c7474828e9452184e204b18b8e090, which was the
1.42.11 release.  The current master and next have same problem.

I'd rather use debian versions, but metadata_csum is disabled there.
debian does not sync with git master, so what exactly does it sync
with?  ie, how are the metadata_csum patches dropped, since they exist
in master?
