tracing: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/klibc/-/blob/2078f63fe594652d42e19060b05aa03966fbd8a5/debian/initramfs-tools/hooks/klibc-utils#L31

Control: reassign -1 klibc-utils
Control: forcemerge 1055694 -1

Note: Bug 1055694 was initially described as a different bug, but
it was retitled on January 9 (to match the change in coreutils),
so that it became the same bug as 1059936. Hence the merge.
