A quick question regarding Debian: A Debian version receives 3 years of support, I know that much. But then there is also LTS which extends support for another 2 years, making it 5 overall.

Do I have to be proactive in any way to get those LTS updates? Or will they be automatically enabled without any notice?

What I found online left me a bit confused, so I'm thankful for anyone able to help.

When Debian LTS (https://wiki.debian.org/LTS) started in 2014 for Debian 6 "squeeze",
(https://web.archive.org/web/20240720200316/https://www.debian.org/News/2014/20140616)
we didn't have any certainty about its future success.

Ten years later, we are happy to announce that more than 4000 security updates have been published under the LTS initiative.

More precisely, DLA 4000-1 (https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2024/12/msg00022.html)
was released on 21st December 2024 by Guilhem Moulin to fix three CVEs in sqlparse.
