bind9 patch or new upstream version



Hi fellow LTS contributors

Today I started on bind9 and realized one thing. In bullseye the
security update is to release a new upstream version (released as
1:9.16.48-1) instead of patching the old version
(1:9.16.44-1~deb11u1). For some reason the version used is -1 instead
of ~deb11u1.

Since this is not the normal practice I'd like to check so we have a
common agreement that this is the best also for LTS/buster.

In this case I think it is the safest method. Trying to pick the
individual patches can be risky.
Or do we know any specific reason why we should not go this path?

Cheers

// Ola
