I choose 'grave' because the bugs about the incompatibility are set to grave like #968102. > > Please use standard metadata for p-u bugs, and at the very least > mention the package in the subject if not... > > > Hello, > > > > I prepare an update of webext-tbsync for buster with version > > 2.16.1+deb10u1. > > That would be higher than the version in unstable, so would be > inappropriate.

I was irritated with the description in th the developer reference. But now I hope I understand the difference which isn't described there. > > > It is needed to be uploaded to stable-update because of the update > > thunderbird 68 to 78. > > Is the new package compatible with Thunderbird 68 as well? The new package isn't compatible with Thunderbird 68 but only with 78 as described in d/control. That's why it is useful to update to stable-update and not to proposed-update. Since RT updated Thunderbird in buster from version 68.x to 78.x this causes the incompatibility from webext-tbsync with the recent Thunderbird version in Buster.

Sorry for the missinterpreting the developer-reference about this.
