Does this mean it's been dropped or rather that it will be released for 22.04 later?  If the latter, how to get an idea of when?  How can find the answers myself without asking in a place like here?

It didn't get migrated to testing in Debian until mid March which was past the Debian import freeze deadline to include in Jammy. It may get packaged and included via the backports repo, but someone from the Ubuntu community will have to do the work to get it there.

Just to confirm I understand correctly, the Debian bug report says that the 9.6.7-3 which would have gone into 22.04 didn't because of build problems but there is now a 9.6.7-4 version at Debian that builds correctly?

So are you saying that the fixed version is unlikely to go into 22.04.1 unless someone (me I presume) files a bug report to request it?

Thanks to both of you for digging up those links.
