LTS is a Debian project running on Debian infrastructure. It's true that most of the news you see about it is related to Freexian, but there are other contributors quietly working on it. But you are right that packages can be excluded from support - and in fact this can be done during the regular stable period, at the beginning of LTS, or later. Specific exclusions are recorded in the debian-security-support package. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings No political challenge can be met by shopping. - George Monbiot
