Do you actually mean bookworm-updates here (i.e. pushed to users in
advance of 12.1), or simply (bookworm-)proposed-updates, therefore
reaching users with the release of 12.1?

There's been no substantial changes to the policy for a while. The
"workflow" section of
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2019/08/msg00000.html
(as linked from https://release.debian.org/ ) is still basically
appropriate, and the basis of
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#special-case-uploads-to-the-stable-and-oldstable-distributions
(The "must be severity:important" bit isn't strictly enforced, more a
guide as to the expected impact of the issue being resolved.)
Maybe we should re-post it.
I'd be interested in seeing a binary debdiff (for an arbitrary
architecture) with "--controlfiles=ALL" to see the changes made to the
maintainer scripts, but overall I think this looks OK.
One small comment:
+if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le 0.18.3-1; then
+ # we're updating from 0.18-3 or earlier, chown aideinit logs
That should presumably be "from 0.18.3".

Adam
