That isn't possible, but you can upload to bullseye-backports-sloppy: https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/#index4h3 With the release of a new stable version uploading packages with versions greater than in new stable or new stable-security are not allowed. So if you want to upload a new package version from e.g. bookworm to buster, use buster-backports-sloppy as the target distribution. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
