If upstream uses semver then 7.3 -> 7.7 implies new features. Along with a
10MiB diff this is usually a good indicator that it's inappropriate for
stable.
The trouble with a package's time spent in sid as an indicator of
reliability isn't so much the package itself, but all the differences
around it like library versions. We've been bitten by that assumption
before now.
Are there known issues for users which you can target with fixes rather
than a wholesale backport?
Otherwise maybe bookworm-backports is a better place for this, so users can
choose to take slightly more risk for features, or stick with the released
version and put up with known quantity bugs.
