Debian packages are often well behind upstream releases. For example,
Debian 10 (buster) still has NSD 4.1.26, whereas the upstream version is
4.3.6.

However, for Debian, there's usually a repository called backports. If
you enable it, you can get newer versions of packages. For example,
"buster-backports" currently has NSD 4.3.5 in it. You could also enable
the "experimental" repo and get the latest 4.3.6 release.
