Here, we have a library with only 6 packages using it, and the source-level 
API appears to be compatible, so I think a grouped update of all 7 packages 
(the library + the 6 dependent packages) may well make sense, depending on 
what the other changes are.

But yes, backporting security fixes should always be considered, it would 
also get the fix out sooner than coordinating a grouped update.

I do not know the details well enough to be able to decide which is the 
better way here. Both should be doable in principle.
