[Launchpad Bug Tracker <2109333@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package binutils - 2.45-7ubuntu2

---------------
binutils (2.45-7ubuntu2) resolute; urgency=medium

  * d/p/env-package-metadata.diff: enforce CLI arg precedence (LP: #2109333)
    The initial implementation would only give precedence if the CLI arg is
    not empty. The new implementation now simply loads the default value
    into the appropriate static variable *before* the argument parsing,
    where the --package-metadata handler will appropriately clear it.
