Throwing the break-ins [1] of Debian machines to this bug report will not
make me fix what you consider a "bug" earlier, sorry. Regardless of when
security support was dropped for older versions of the OS I will drop the
references to those older versions (2.2 and 3.0) when I see fit.

exploits to elevate privileges, not to get access to the machines in
themselves.
