It was Louis that said that he didn't use '.0' & '.1' minor Samba
versions in production and I said something like 'I don't use the .0
versions', but that was a long time ago and was after there had been a
couple of major releases that had had problems, these problems do not
seem to happen now and I am quite willing to use any supported Samba
versions, this includes '.0' & '.1' versions.

I have no idea if 4.19.x will go into Bookworm-backports and I also do
not think that Samba has any pull on this. The person who may know is
Michael Tokarev, the Debian Samba maintainer.
