A limited subset of packages!  This should be documented at least here:

Because there is no documentation of the supported subset of LTS nor a
list of actually maintained packages.  So, the impression is, that all
packages are maintained.

But this should also an issue for Debian 7, isn't it?  Packages that
receive no security updates should be marked in some way within the
repository, i.e. like broken packages within Aptitude are in red color.
