About a month ago I tried submitting directly on Launchpad but that has seemingly been ignored as well. Have I submitted the patch incorrectly? Or is there some reason that it shouldn't be merged?

Ubuntu normally merges packaging changes from Debian continuously
whilst the development is open up to the Debian Import Freeze /
Feature Freeze. Which for the Disco Dingo release was on 21st of
February.
I think your patch was uploaded into debian on the 22nd of February.
And whilst we do fix, merge and upload things post Feature Freeze it's
progressively more conservative / higher priority things.
I am afraid, that bugfix, possibly missed the 19.04 cycle by a day, effectively.
Once we open EE cycle for development, I'm sure it will be merged into
Ubuntu then =/

Sorry about that.
