Hi Charles, Thank you so much for your explanation. It seems I misunderstood the purpose of the LTS team and assumed that in LTS phase minor bug fixes are also accepted. Also, I got an impression that LTS bugs can be submitted to sub...@bugs.debian.org. Now, after rereading the pages DebianReleases and LTS, I have full understanding of how the Debian maintenance process is organised.
I fully agree that building and maintaining a local package is a good option until we upgrade to Debian 12.
