And since Debian is also including those micro-releases in stable point releases I also think we should that too. However, I did not find the upstream QA process documented and this is mandatory according to the SRU policy for a micro-release update:
"The upstream QA process must be documented/demonstrated and linked from the SRU tracking bug."
If it is documented somewhere could you please provide a link to it? In case it is not available, we could not take advantage of this micro-release SRU process and a Postfix exception would be needed, like we already have for other packages as you can see here:
To do that a process needs to be defined for future Postfix SRUs containing micro-release updates. I see we already have some good DEP-8 tests, so we'd need to write a wiki page describing this process and ask the SRU team to acknowledge it. I am offering myself to drive this if that is the case.
Scott, I asked around about this subject and those past SRUs with micro-release updates were accepted probably based on this:
