I do oppose an NMU as you haven't actually explained why this patch is
necessary.  Ubuntu doesn't have this patch and yet has been building
32-bit alsa for several releases without problems.

And I absolutely do not want the untested ppc64 patch going in.

And don't do that either.  NMUs are not an excuse to get random pet
bug fixes in.
