You do care, because the build system is how Debian packages are built
and distributed. Debian's AMD64 and ARM64 kernel image packages for
Debian 12 and Debian 13 released on May 2 with the Copy Fail fix were
built and distributed to the world less than 10 minutes apart. There is
no appreciable latency between AMD64 packages being released and ARM64
packages being released. This is easily verifiable.

Whatever delays you are experiencing are on your side of the equation.
Maybe there is a mistake in your sources.list. I don't know.
