If the latest version in Debian (1.4.23) is a clean backport, it doesn't
need additional dependencies updated and you didn't spot any regressions
then I'd file a bug at https://tracker.pureos.net/ stating exactly that.
A PureOS developer can then grab the package from Debian and upload it.

If the package would need additional dependencies updated i'd rather go
for a backport of the patch you mentioned to 1.4.19-2 and file that at
https://tracker.pureos.net/ as well preferably attaching a debdiff of
the tested package. A PureOS develoepr can than grab the debdiff and
apply it to the PureOS package.

Does that make sense?
Cheers,
