Debian’s “stable” distro usually doesn’t bump package versions so this is, at least, an unusual event. I think it’s reasonable to give lobsters a chance to discuss, although OP could/should have provided some context.
I’d expect Debian package version bumps to happen more often (at least for the near- to mid-term future) as the effort required to back-port our current flood of LLM-discovered fixes becomes greater than the maintainers can afford.
Yeah definitely interesting of how those bumps might break distro releases, and what this might mean moving forward (if it will be sustained, increase, or die down). And what mitigation folks might need to employ to avoid brokenness.

This could have some serious effects on scripts that rely on consistent rsync behaviour.
