Thanks and happy updating! Be aware that packagers might be busy, have limited time or various rebuilds need to happen. For samba for example there is an updated version in [testing]. For libelf, a rebuild is required which might make sense to wait until binutils has support for debuginfod so we don't have to rebuild it twice.
