FWIW ploticus was fixed and will be in the next Debian stable release (bullseye), but it missed buster. In theory we could maintain our own backport of it, but obviously sunsetting EasyTimeline is a better long term solution.

I'm going to upload an NMU for https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=967239, after that we can prepare a wikimedia-buster build based on the NMU upload.

I've uploaded an NMU (2.42-4.2) for ploticus which correctly enables the toolchain hardening (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=967239), we can import that version to buster-wikimedia for the mw migration of the app servers.
