This was fixed in upstream Clippy in Rust 1.90.0 due to a request we
made (thanks to  Tamir):

  https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/14425

I would suggest to allow the lint locally (perhaps once at the top of
the file). This will go away this cycle since I am going to bump the
minimum version to Debian Trixie's.

Alternatively, we could use the patch above to add
`clippy::incompatible_msrv`, but that is more involved, and allowing
it locally is what we did elsewhere too.

Cheers,
Miguel
