WordPress 5.0.3 has a security bug #924546 which was fixed in upstream
version 5.1.1 [1]

Sid has 5.1.1 which has this fix, however it also has all the
non-security fixes of 5.1 as well.

For stretch, there is a patch ready to go for 4.7.5, seen at [2] that
covers only the security fixes.

If Buster was released, I'd prepare a security patch that would be
almost-identical to the Stretch fix, taken from [3] which is where
upstream tracks 5.0.x releases, using  changeset 44835 and 44844.

So, we have a few options:
1) Update Buster WordPress 5.0.3 to 5.0.4 which is the security fixes
2) Make a security release for Buster, effectively what (1) is with
different version numbers
3) Update Buster to follow Sid, which is a major update, 5.1.1
4) Do nothing and wait until Buster is released and then fix it.

I haven't prepared differences yet because depending on the answer you
get a different debdiff.
