Hello. The Universe package XCA is a tool for creating and managing X.509 certificates, certificate requests, RSA/DSA/EC private keys, Smartcard integrations, and CRLs. It is designed so that a CA can be fully functional from the tooling itself (except for OCSP responders, etc.).
There are changes that happen to the XCA package that include changes that break reverse compatibility due to feature changes, etc. and in turn is why I backported XCA recently. I am the Debian package maintainer as well as the Ubuntu 'maintainer'. It has no reverse dependencies, and it is recommended that the latest version of XCA be used instead of differing versions because sometimes things get added to the underlying DB (SQLite, etc.) format that needs latest versions to work with because of occasionally reverse-incompatible changes. Therefore, because of newer features and changes that are beyond just bug fixes, it is prudent to have the version in Devel match the version in stable releases. To that end, I'd like to request a backports exception for src:xca so that I can continue to provide the backported versions regularly to current supported LTS releases.
