Packages in $version-backports have to be up-to-date wrt.
their corresponding packages from $(version+1), except
small, not very user-visible, etc. changes.
In the case of security updates, this is even more important.
The person who uploaded the first backport basically agreed
to keep the tomcat9 backport up-to-date over the lifetime of
buster-backports, that is, to approximately 14/15ᵗʰ August 2022(!).
now on. I am not sure yet if the regression which I have fixed in
9.0.43-3 requires another security update for bullseye or buster at
the moment, since an easy workaround is available and probably not
many users are affected. I will monitor the situation though.
Right.
However, if you’re not intending to update the buster backport,
please file a removal request and inform the users (via the bpo
mailing list) about this and the extant security issues in the
version they have installed.

is what I try to keep reasonably up to date. It also contains
the sysvinit fixes. It’s built in a bullseye chroot though,
and as such does NOT follow the bpo rules. It’s a works-for-me
thing which one MAY use if they want, at their own risk.
