Dear Maintainer,

While experimenting with drgn [1], I ran into a crash[3], which seems to be from a bug introduced in elfutils 0.183 and fixed in 0.186[2].

I don't know if said bug meets the threshold for a backport on stable, but figured I'd ask, since the alternative is that I carry my own elfutils packages until bookworm...
