That's because 1.26 is a long term support version, supported until 2023 ( https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/lightdm/2019-May/001170.html) whikle other versions have short support (1.30 support has supposedly ended in January 2020) > > According to > https://sources.debian.org/src/lightdm/1.26.0-7/debian/watch/ , the > debian/watch file explicitly embedded the 1.26 string in the version > string, which doesn't make much sense.
