debdiff attached, I will upload this as a delayed NMU.
I will remove or overwrite any attempt to upload a new version.

As I have explained in the previous comment, this is highly security
sensitive and requires careful review, hence updates aside from CVEs
can only happen during Christmas break when there's time to review
the code.

I do not appreciate an NMU when I have clearly outlined my position
on the topic and am generally responsive.

I agree that keepassxc is a highly sensitive program. However, not updating it for over half a year for the sake of code review while every other major distro has kept current

does not instill trust for me. If there'd've been any malicious or otherwise noteworthy changes surely other parties would have noticed. It's a noble endeavour to really take a look at the code but this isn't really feasible imo when the releases happen faster than you can make time for it. In conclusion I believe code review of changes is nice, but it shouldn't get in the way of getting new versions to users.
