Do you actually mean bookworm-updates here (i.e. pushed to users in advance of 12.1), or simply (bookworm-)proposed-updates, therefore reaching users with the release of 12.1? > I have > never done this before and am open for suggestions to improve and for > documentation pointers.

The "workflow" section of https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2019/08/msg00000.html (as linked from https://release.debian.org/ ) is still basically appropriate, and the basis of https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#special-case-uploads-to-the-stable-and-oldstable-distributions (The "must be severity:important" bit isn't strictly enforced, more a guide as to the expected impact of the issue being resolved.) Maybe we should re-post it. I'd be interested in seeing a binary debdiff (for an arbitrary architecture) with "--controlfiles=ALL" to see the changes made to the maintainer scripts, but overall I think this looks OK. One small comment: +if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le 0.18.3-1; then + # we're updating from 0.18-3 or earlier, chown aideinit logs That should presumably be "from 0.18.3". Regards, Adam
