It's hard to say for sure whether we'll want another update in buster-backports. We're up-to-date with upstream at the moment, but we don't know how long that will last or what new changes will be released in the future. However, I'm inclined to agree that there's a pretty good chance that we will want another update at some point in buster's lifetime. The cloud-init in buster-backports is basically identical to the one in buster 10.5, so even if somebody accidentally installs the bpo version, it's unlikely to cause any problems for them. It seems simpler to me to just leave everything where it is. noah
