Without knowing the specifics of the patch, most likely. But you're
running out of time. At this point, it's too late to get something into
Debian testing and have it migrate to Focal. (I think Focal is syncing
from Debian testing. If it's syncing from Debian unstable, then you have
like 24 hours.) So it'd need to be a patch that goes direct into Ubuntu.
The best thing to do would be to prepare a patch for the package, submit
a bug report on Launchpad, attach a debdiff, and see if you can get
someone to sponsor the upload. If you're not familiar with Debian style
packaging, file a bug report on Launchpad, link the upstream patch, and
see if you can find someone interested.
