My plan is to support bookworm-backports for a little longer,
past the release of trixie.

Also, my plan for debian backports is to upload next updates of the previous
major version of samba while next major version of samba is available in sid,
even if these updates don't exist in sid, - for example, I might upload
4.21.5 to bookworm-backports while last 4.21 in sid was 4.21.4 and sid has
4.22.0 already.  Yes, it is a bit different than the usual debian backports
rules, but I see it as a better alternative, especially when sid has .0
version which has some rough corners.

So expect bpo to be supported both during and past trixie freeze.

Thanks,
