Bug Description

Hello; PowerDNS's 4.0.0 release wasn't quite ready in time for 16.04 LTS so an alpha version was shipped instead, with the understanding that newer releases could be SRU'd back to Xenial at a later date.

It's been several months now, and upstream has released 4.0.1. This is packaged as 4.0.1-1build1 in 16.10, 4.0.1-5 in devel, and 4.0.1-6 in sid. The Debian maintainer is quite active and disciplined.

What's the best way forward to getting a newer PowerDNS in 16.04 LTS? A yakkety backport? zesty backport? Or merge from Debian?

Thanks

I suggest following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#New_upstream_microreleases, assuming the changes to 4.0.4 all qualify, to bring Xenial and Zesty both up to 4.0.4.
