Please enable the hyperv-daemons binary package in the linux-6.1

bullseye-security.
hyperv-daemons is already built (for x86) by src:linux and I don't think
2 source packages can build the same binary package for different architectures.
There have been no functional changes in hyperv-daemons between 5.10 and
6.1, so I can build it for arm64 from src:linux with no loss of functionality. However the version number would be lower than before.
Would that meet the requirements for cloud images? Or do I need to
fudge the binary version number?
Looking through the changelogs and the content of the rest of our cloud
images, I think the hyperv-daemons from 5.10 should be OK. We're
installing that version on all our amd64 cloud images (including the
-backports image), so the only potential issues I can see are:
* There's some arch-specific issue impacing hyperv-daemons for arm64,
* There's the possibility for confusion among the current users of our
arm64 bullseye-backports images, as they've previously contaned the
6.1 version of that package.
I think I'm OK with the risk associated with those issues, and am in
favor of doing the most basic work to enable the 5.10 hyperv-daemons
binary package.
Thanks
