there was no such change upstream.  I asked for it multiple times but upstream
has never replied on this:

    https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/acl-devel/2019-03/msg00000.html
    https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/acl-devel/2019-03/msg00001.html
    https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/acl-devel/2019-05/msg00000.html
    https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/acl-devel/2020-05/msg00000.html

... so I ended up pushing it as a Fedora-only change:

    https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/attr/c/63e7de99

See the following bug for details:
