Package: xen-tools
Version: 2.8-2
Severity: serious
Tags: security
Justification: Leaves the new domU without security support


Installing a Etch domU always sets

  deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates  main contrib non-free

in /etc/apt/sources.list. This leaves the domU without security support,
which shouldn't happen.


If you look into /usr/lib/xen-tools/debian.d/20-setup-apt you can see
the bug:

  cat <<E_O_APT > ${prefix}/etc/apt/sources.list
  [...]
  #
  # ${dist}
  #
  deb     ${mirror}     ${dist} main contrib non-free
  deb-src ${mirror}     ${dist} main contrib non-free

  #
  #  Security updates
  #
  deb     http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates  main contrib non-free
  deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates  main contrib non-free

  #                                 ^^^^^^ THIS SHOULD be ${dist}/updates
  E_O_APT

It would be nice if this could be fixed for etch, because this bug would
be slighly annoying if one would like to setup an testing/unstable xen domU
intance during the lifetime of etch.

PS: I am not sure if Severity: serious / Tags: security is the right
choice. But I think this bug could have potential security problems. So
feel free the change.
