Debian packages are often well behind upstream releases. For example,<br>
Debian 10 (buster) still has NSD 4.1.26, whereas the upstream version is<br>
4.3.6.<br>
<br>
However, for Debian, there's usually a repository called backports. If<br>
you enable it, you can get newer versions of packages. For example,<br>
"buster-backports" currently has NSD 4.3.5 in it. You could also enable<br>
the "experimental" repo and get the latest 4.3.6 release.<br>
<br>
