Are you telling me that it's not supported to be able to smoothly upgrade unstable? The issue that the DELAYED NMU fixes is that anyone who installed sane-backends from unstable during the 3 months before 1.0.27-3.1 was released are unable to upgrade to 3.1 without manually telling apt how to do the upgrade. This is easy to test: just install the 1.0.27-3 binaries (making sure you don't have any 3.1 stuff) in Buster or Unstable, then try to run apt dist-upgrade or apt upgrade. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
