The way remmina handles device redirection with freerdp3, is not
how freerdp supposed to be used - remmina bypasses official freerdp
API and handles its internal objects directly.  This never worked
with freerdp3 properly, but with current freerdp it broke completely,
since it now results in type mismatch and a SIGSEGV in the end.

There's an upstream PR wich fixes the issue, at
https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/merge_requests/2756 - which
are not part of any official remmina release yet, but already
applied to the master branch.

Please fix this both for sid and for trixie too, -- we're preparing
update of freerdp in trixie and it will be a problem there too.

Thanks,
