Yeah it's definitely that strange hardcoded part in: /usr/bin/check-support-status:

Not sure what the correct is to handle this in the BTS... of course it should be assigned to debian-security-support, but then people who upgrade won't notice the problem... "affects base-files" isn't the case and wouldn't probably make it show up either. Guess the only thing the BTS allows is to have a 2nd bug at debian- security-support and make this one a dummy-bug (which also block transition to testing) blocked by the other. Cheers, Chris.
