Ok, looking at the history of bolt, I see we did accept new upstream version bumps for our LTS series as per the HWE exception policy (e.g. in bionic). I don't see us having any concrete written down arguments for that. I'm generally fine with this in this particular case, although I think we would need a bit more exploratory testing done as part of verification than just checking for the USB4 issues being resolved. Could you propose some tests that could be ran to check for regressions?

Another thing I'm a bit worried about is the move of the boltd daemon. For SRUs we generally dislike binaries changing places. Not sure how this could affect existing users, I assume usr/lib/bolt/boltd was only used internally by bolt - but is it possible that someone could rely on the boltd binary externally? Do you think that's a valid concern? Since normally I'd feel a bit more calm if this particular change got reverted in comparison to Debian.
