Changes will be included into the next major Org mode release.
So 9.6.10 or possibly 9.7.0.
The patch is committed to the main branch, but not to bugfix, so >= 9.7.0.

It is a bit different from Org mode 9.5 however
I assume you mean 9.5.x, and that this will affect uses who upgrade from
Debian 12/bookworm (or older) to future 13/trixie.

Hm, this looks like something that should probably be noted in upstream
org-mode release notes, which would also eventually trickle down to
Emacs release (due to its bundled copy of org-mode).
There are no modifications of the ORG-NEWS file in the commit. Perhaps
more significant changes are coming.
I am in doubts if pre-1996 "traditional" orthography (germanb) was
really intentional for "de". Perhaps post-1996 "reformed" style
(ngerman) is closer to user expectations. I do not speak German however,
so I can not judge if it was really a bug or (an obscure from my point
of view) feature. Long language mapping list was added at once.
Anyway those who need namely older "germanb" may use
#+language: de
#+latex_header: \usepackage[english,germanb]{babel}
instead of "AUTO"
#+language: de
#+latex_header: \usepackage[english,AUTO]{babel}
