Your question was absolutely clear, to which I answered clearlySo my question is, if I install the version from Testing now (on Bookworm, which is a manual process [wget -> dpkg]) and Trixie is released, will the installed version (which I installed manually) be automatically updated if I upgrade from Bookworm to Trixie? Or will it not since the installed version is a manually installed version?
I'm not sure how I can be any clearer.
If the installation method had anything to do with the problem, I would have taken it into account in my answer. The fact is that in the end it is always dpkg which manages the installation of Debian packages, no matter how. Advanced dpkg "front-ends" call dpkg for package installation. dpkg records the package status to /var/lib/dpkg/status. Just like when you use dpkg directly.Packages are upgraded when a higher version is available.
Code:
$> less /var/lib/dpkg/status
