The way you want will make prosody-modules break when someone start to use lua-socket from stretch-backports. The unix socket API is not stable nor documented yet [1], being tied to an API that we know will change on buster is not very solid either. As for the freeze definition, the updated lua-socket was uploaded during soft freeze. I agree that this could be seen as a "transition" as the API was changed. Will look at a fix inside lua-socket (preserving both compatibilities), but please relax your rules to help find a fix for all cases.
