Thanks for proving me wrong. I was unaware of testing's security repositories. Searching the archives, I found what triggered me wrong: <quote> [1] Security support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Final preparations for security support will be done during the general freeze, that is now. We hope being able to announce start of security support soon, but obviously, it is a pre-condition for release. </quote> <quote> [2] There are also good news. One of them is that the security team told us that we now have security support for Etch (and also that Etch has been in a good status for some time now regarding security). </quote> Is there something unofficial about http://secure-testing.debian.net ? Why is our release manager announcing the 'start of security support soon', if it already has been in place for years? Thanks for enlightening me about that!
