The Debian FAQ is not up to date with how packages are currently updated in stable. There are some exceptions to the "only security fixes" rule which are not properly addressed. The "Developer's Reference" (see https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#special-case-the-stable-updates-suite) actually describes better what type of fixes will be allowed by the Release Managers into stable. Based on the information there and the Wiki, I've made an attempt at fixing the text in my latest commit, which can be found here: https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/debian-faq/-/commit/0aeeb1db4a60cf30072799f274d6253c2a1686d5 Feel free to suggest improvements to the text available there. Best regards Javier
