Indeed, 'point release' is probably appropriate. Just FYI, you can find
out your version number with 'cat /etc/*version'. On my PI, the file is
/etc/Debian_version and shows '9.4'. On my desktop, it is
/etc/debian_version and shows '9.5'. As previously noted, the raspbian
updates trail the debian ones by a bit.
