I have no opinion about what the right approach is for the timing stuff. But it seems to me as if this is a different issue, for sure not RC. I'm not sure what you want to achieve with this double action (fixing a bug and doing it in public). If you want to show how to do an NMU, I suggest not to touch the cron mechanism. > using > /etc/default/debsecan to determine the suite? > > That would solve the problems, no? Yes, it seems so. Florian has already suggested something like this. If I were him, I would also read the mailto setting from /etc/default/debsecan. If I were you, I wouldn't make such an unnecessary change in an NMU. Oh, no, if I were you, I wouldn't consider an NMU here at all. I don't know Florians opinion about this, and he has the saying here. But if you ask me, unless there's a particular reason why you choose this bug (which I didn't read so far), I think it is a bad example for your famous talk. NMU work should be concentrated on RC bugs which are hard to fix or which have not been addressed properly in the past. A bug that is two days old and already lead to a fruitful discussion between the submitter and the maintainer does not need to be fixed in an NMU.
