Jan: It’s not special. As a rule, stable releases almost never get version bumps outside of a handful of prominent packages that can’t be supported securely any other way (e.g. Firefox). Instead, individual security patches are backported. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

git 2.7.4-0ubuntu1.4 in xenial-security has the security fix. If you want 2.17.1 in xenial, use the PPA (https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ubuntu/ppa).
