I am not sure if itʼs the only reason that crashes.

It did fail before I applied the fix(the old version crashes for me and I
have AMD hardware).

Itʼs upstream minor release. Contains only bug fixes in upstream minor

Itʼs bug fix only release that shows on upstreamʼs release notes:
https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/releases/tag/v1.3.1
https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/releases/tag/v1.3.2

It fixed some bugs but not the latest version of upstream release.

Due to it crashes directly not only me. I consider the bug severity as
important.

Yes, I tested, the new bug release fix works on my machine.

No.

It fixed other bugs even itʼs not been reported in debian.

Itʼs not just a targeted fix. It contains multiple bug fixes from
upstream that might not affecting debian(eg: fix for MacOS).
