Precisely; it was a point-release. Bug fixes as well as security
fixes. Like me, you have probably kept up with the latter.

Fairly typical for buster. 85 packages here, including the kernel.
About 30 of them were for libreoffice components. No DM or DE here.
Looking back, the previous point release (early Feb) involved 76 here.
The one before that (Nov), 65. I've no figures for 10.0→10.1 as it was
conflated with my installation of the system.
Cheers,
David.
