No, just some kind of ABI thing, but I doubt xrdp upstream already
even guarantees stable ABIs for 0.x releases.
Probably something like the X server itself or Perl, where xrdp
Provides xrdp-abi (= 0.9.21) and xorgxrdp Depends xrdp-abi (= 0.9.12)
and therefore automatically needs a binNMU to get the newer one *and*
lockstep upgrades are enforced by that.

Yes. Not applicable here, xrdp does not need xorgxrdp to provide
a significant part of use cases. xorgxrdp is a plugin that can be
added to provide the third significant use case out of three, AIUI.
