Does this ack apply equally to the similar bookworm update, #1128228 ?
Right, would be nice to have both acked, but I can go ahead with only
the ACKed one as well...
As announced in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2025/08/msg00003.html, if
you're confident that the stable release team will accept your update,
my understanding is that it's OK to do the upload without pre-approval:
it will be held in a queue until a release team member accepts or
rejects it.
For this sort of change where you're backporting individual low-risk
patches for low-severity CVEs, it seems reasonable (to me at least) to
test and upload without waiting for an ack: the worst case scenario is
that the release managers don't like some or all of the changes, in
which case they won't be accepted into proposed-updates, and someone can
prepare a deb13u4 with the problematic changes either reverted or
improved.
