bug#64141: 27.1 newly has clunky type-break y-or-n-p

[Samuel Wales]

i realize this isn't useful other than the stuff i have already
provided, but i find that type-break more often than not does the
wrong thing.  cursor in non-writable spot, or in a real buffer.  or in
middle of isearch.  probably various other things.

is the idea that i would upgrade to a newer version of emacs?  i do
that by upgrading debian....
