 Hi Brian,
  I'm not sure what you mean here. Debian bullseye is the stable release
with net-snmp 5.9 with sid and bookworm (unstable) using  5.9.1 which is
the current upstream release.
Buster is Debian old-stable with net-snmp 5.7.3

For LTS managed releases, we are going back to Stretch or Debian 9 which is
also net-snmp 5.7.3.

The only one that can be influenced is the current sid/bookworm. If Debian
bookworm was frozen today, then net-snmp 5.9.1 would make it eventually
into Debian LTS because that's what makes it into the distribution at
freeze time. To give you an idea of how long the process takes, Debian
Stretch was released in June 2017 but made it into July 2020; three years
later. So we cannot change what is in LTS.

Can a LTS system use a different version of net-snmp? It is possible using
pinning see https://wiki.debian.org/AptConfiguration
