I don't see that - x11-utils-7.7+5 was tagged 3 years ago: https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/app/x11-utils/-/commit/a228065f0382b13712540cfe1f9ba7a977832843 Timo Aaltonen <[email protected]> Sat, 29 Feb 2020 08:29:50 +0200 while 7.7+6 is not yet in bookworm, which I read was released in June 2023.
