Then you got the fix via your apt update / apt upgrade routine everyone should
have. (here: 7.4.7-1 -> 7.4.7-1+deb12u1 for Debian stable). No need to phone
home to get possibly told "upgrade to 7.6.4", because that's totally wrong
because that one doesn't exist on official Debian stable (it is in
stable-backports, versioned 7.6.4~rc1-1, which is definitely identical to
7.6.4. Do users know? Maybe not. Do users need to know? No.)

That is the default thing on Debian. You don't get any updates other than
security via the default sources list (except "urgent" updates via -updates
maybe).

Point releases might be something else, but even then in "normal" cases you
don't get version updates either.

I don't know about Devuan, but...

You are contradicting your own point.
