1 important issue:

CVE-2021-3981: A flaw in grub2 was found where its configuration file, known as grub.cfg, is being created with the wrong permission set allowing non privileged users to read its content. This represents a low severity confidentiality issue, as those users can eventually read any encrypted passwords present in grub.cfg. This flaw affects grub2 2.06 and previous versions. This issue has been fixed in grub upstream but no version with the fix is currently released.

vcswatch reports that this package seems to have a new changelog entry (version 2.06-5, distribution UNRELEASED) and new commits in its VCS. You should consider whether it's time to make an upload.

Here are the relevant commit messages:

commit cff73ced22426ef1b481918dfee99a11e8e6653e
Author: Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org>
Date:   Sun Sep 18 12:50:26 2022 +0000

    Explicitly unset SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH before running fs tests.
    
    In some filesystem utils like mksquashfs, it will silently change
    behaviour and cause timestamps to unexpectedly change. Reproducible
    builds are good and useful for shipped artifacts, but this causes
    build-time tests to fail.
