I noticed that one of the changes in accountsservice
0.6.55-0ubuntu12~20.04.1 is...

 * Add patch to not crash in the library when the daemon goes away
    (Closes: #948228) (LP: #1843982)

Does this imply that the existing accountsservice 0.6.55-0ubuntu11
package in 20.04 will crash during upgrades to the newer version due to
the absence of this bug fix in the currently running daemon?

Title:
  accountsservice 0.6.55-0ubuntu12~20.04.1 update crashes into  greeter

Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When updating Ubuntu 20.04 to the current proposed updates with the
  accountsservice 0.6.55-0ubuntu12~20.04.1 update, the current gnome
  session crashes out reproducibly into the the gdm3 greeter. At that
  point, when you try to log back in, only the background color is
  displayed but no desktop or menus ever appears. One has to perform a
  hard reboot at this point to get back to a greeter that will
  successfully login.
