Alas, the cracks are pretty wide :/

I'm afraid that there's a non-trivial process for a stable update.
It is described in developers-reference section 5.5.1.:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#special-case-uploads-to-the-stable-and-oldstable-distributions
First, you need to file a bug on release.debian.org explaining the reason
and including the debdiff between 0.4.6-1 and the new upload. Only once
approved, we can continue with actually uploading.

The version must end with +deb10u1 (u2 for second update, etc; deb11 for
Bullseye, ...). So it'd be 0.4.6-1+deb10u1 .

It would be good to describe all other changes as well.
Adding a way to verify upstream signatures is good.
Making the build verbose may get allowed, but I'm not sure.
So, you need to seek the stable release team's approval, then come back
here. Good luck!
