I created the debdiff by comparing the 2 .dsc files, and indeed it include the file, as well it's symbolic linked file to be changed. I have re-ran the debdiff locally again this morning, and I can see the same thing. I can remove the offending section, and have been able to do a debdiff-apply; I can upload this debdiff if required.

The maintainer was originally changed by Julian on version 4.5.6-0ubuntu3 when a rebuild was done, not sure why, and this is for the case for only noble and oracular; the others are still the old maintainer. We are changing the maintainer soon, but we need to change a few things internally for that and hence were going to leave it as is.

The upstream project minor releases are created as a requirement for RedHat, and hence the primary maintainer that is RH does those releases. The core release cadence is 6 months, February and August. We plan to stick to that release process and potentially one intermediate. We have an internal testing criteria that can take some time to get our releases out, and hence the SRU was started a month after release, and you can see the release numbers in my PPA https://launchpad.net/~arif-ali/+archive/ubuntu/sosreport-dev.

Happy to amend anything that is required and get this moving forward.
