It's just fixing a theoretical problem, not one that has actually caused problems for people. The stable guidelines I read [1] said we shouldn't include fixes like that.

So, sure it would probably be harmless to include it without the other dependencies. But not sure it is worth the effort for only a theoretical problem.

The written stable guidelines don't really reflect what's going on with stable these days at all, these days it's very aggressive with what it backports. Personally I tend to be a lot more conservative than this and would tend to agree that this isn't a great candidate for backporting but people seem OK with this sort of stuff.
