It sounds like this type of update would qualify under the same
principle that MAAS (were it still in the archive) adds new features to
stable releases.

However, please see the requirements at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Other_safe_cases.
Specifically:

I see no upload for Hirsute, but this is a requirement for new features
in an LTS so that there isn't a regression and lack of ability to
receive updates if users upgrade from the updated Focal to Hirsute.
Please provide an upload for Hirsute.

It must be demonstrated that the changes you propose are unintrusive,
have a minimal regression potential, and have been tested properly. You
could cherry-pick the required features, or you could update to a newer
upstream release wholesale as you're proposing. Please provide an
analysis and explanation as to why you think the latter approach is
better in this case with respect to these requirements, and what you're
doing to meet them. For example, I see nothing in your Test Plan that
seeks to ensure that unrelated behaviour in this package has not
regressed; nor do I see any analysis of the upstream changes to ensure
that functional/behavioural changes have not been made. And what about
other non-MAAS use cases for this package that users might have
established? How do you intend to mitigate regressing such use cases?
