Right, that was my issue. Historically the package was kept up to date via backports, because this was a lighter-weight process than stable updates. But obviously that couldn't continue into LTS, without the separate backports pocket. From buster onwards, we've been providing stable updates, rather than backports. My issue here wasn't really about content, but about versioning and changelog history. Either way, the package would have the same CSV files inside it. So, I based my LTS and ELTS uploads on the last accepted backports uploads, to make upgrades seamless with or without the backport version previously installed.
