I tried backporting phosh-mobile-settings now, as you mentioned it 
needs newer libadwaita, which in turn needs newer glib and gtk4. So I 
think gnome team won't like the official backports.

Arnaud,

Do you think it would be a good idea to have bookworm-backports suite 
in mobian repo and upload these there?

As for bugs, I think keeping up with new upstream versions would be a 
good strategy. If I go with byzantium experience, I'd think you will 
support newer versions on crimson, so having bookworm-backports should 
be easier to maintain.
