Package: debian-security-support
Severity: normal

Hi,

Sometimes, entire ecosystems are affected by Debian support decisions.

These source package sets comes to mind:
- node-*
  
https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#libv8
- golang-*
  
https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#golang-static-linking

Currently 'check-support-status' fails to detect individual packages
affected by these decisions, it only notifies about explicitly
referenced packages such as 'nodejs'.
Maybe regex matching would help.

(debian-security-support is an important tool in the Debian LTS/ELTS
offering, so I believe we could offer help/time in this area.)

What do you think?

Cheers!
Sylvain
