Package: debian-security-support
Version: 2016.01.07~deb6u1
Severity: wishlist
I am not sure exactly how to maintain this package, so I file this as
a bug for now, as I was informed we may or may not need multiple
uploads (to all suites!) to update this... (See also #762594.)
Basically, VLC and other similar packages are EOL in squeeze, but
libebml and matroska still show up on our radars. As discussed here, I
believe those two packages should be marked as unsupported here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2016/02/msg00018.html
I'll do this as soon as I figure out how to do this myself, otherwise
feel free to bundle this in the next uploads.

That rationale applied to squeeze, not to wheezy. Let's close
#814557 for now.

It should not be too hard to look up packages depending on libmatroska and
see what they depend on... they are also not packages with a bad security
track record so we have no reason to drop them from support in general.
