Usually I'd expect that wording to mean an upload to buster-backports,
rather than p-u, particularly when the difference between the two
versions is not small.

Unfortunately, for a stable update, the debdiff against stable is the
one that's relevant. The diff against a different version of the
package tells us very little about the impact on stable.

In this case, the diff against stable is:

 234 files changed, 12222 insertions(+), 7584 deletions(-)

This really feels like a candidate for a backports update, rather than
a stable update. https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/ has more
information, if you're not familiar with the process.
