# or wishlist?

Hi,

I believe the Debian Security Team has decided that the rather new
debian-security-support package should be the official and supported way 
in which Debian communicates what packages receive security support at
all, for how long and in what scope. (Some packages are not supported
in all usage scenarios...)

This differs by Debian releases, so users are recommended to install this
package on all of their systems.

Currently we have:

debian-security-support | 2014.09.07~bpo70+1 | wheezy-backports   | source, all
debian-security-support | 2014.11.07         | testing            | source, all
debian-security-support | 2014.12.08~bpo60+1 | squeeze-lts        | source, all
debian-security-support | 2014.12.08         | unstable           | source, all

IOW, the debian-security-support package is missing in wheezy (proper)
and I believe it should be added there now / with a regular pointrelease,
instead of being added through the backdoor when we'll (hopefully) have 
wheezy-lts... (like what happened for squeeze.)


cheers,
        Holger, just a mere user of this package here...
