Depends on your definition of "official". Distro with lts may patch older maintenance tracks longer than the upstream releases do, and as far as the normal end-users are concerned, Distro packaged binaries are as "offcial" as they get, probably more "official" than what comes from the upstream and then built from the source. I however do not think distro folks advertise which maintenance tracks they backport the patches here on this mailing list. As to the "upstream", usually 'maint' track gets all fixes, and probably one or two older maintenance tracks tend to get security fixes as well. Beyond that horizon, it's pretty much "as time permits" basis.
