We just was hit by buggy uutils dirname in ubuntu:rolling. Avoid breakage caused by being on the bleeding edge.

 * So here is what I have near the merge of "let's test contrib/
   stuff as well" in 'seen' for today's integration to avoid getting
   hit by broken dirname in ubuntu:rolling reported earlier in
    https://lore.kernel.org/git/ef128e1d-dd3e-4573-bfcd-6a98a0a1f394@howdoi.land/
   Until uutils used by ubuntu:rolling stabilizes a bit more, we may
   want to keep a patch like this in our CI jobs.  Or we may offer
   ourselves as a guinea-pig?  I do not have strong preference
   either way.
