Ahhh - I was not aware that piuparts does upgrade via two distribution
steps. Nice.

Yep. We do not officially support this but I thought it could not harm
to just do it. But *if* it harms I will immediately drop it. Because a
severity serious bug is definitely something that causes harm I'll kick
it in case there is no agreement to just lower the priority for now to
keep the noise level for release team lower.
Kind regards
