Ack to all that Gunnar has said, but I just wanted to let you know that there also is a snap of ausweisapp2 [1] which helps to have the new version available on 20.04 and many other places. But if - due to external changes - the version in 20.04 really became dysfunctional then the SRU rules would allow it to push a new major version. The complex tradeoff begins when it has many functions and only one is inhibited, but the update might break valid users of other functions.
