Good morning Debian LTS/Security Team(s), It has come to my attention that 'arm64' support was recently removed from the debian-security repo [1]. After reading your announcement [2] from June 1st it is clear that this is not a bug, but a deliberate action/decision made by your good selves. Could I ask you to please reconsider your position? This action breaks many community projects, seen most clearly on the Docker Hub builder [3] where the majority of the yellow (unstable) builds are the ones based on Jessie. In these cases Docker Build's 'RUN' command will result in failure after an error return from `apt update`.
If you still decide that supporting 'arm64' as LTS is not the way to go, is there any way you could simply not update the repo, rather than totally removing it? This will ensure that the many community projects based on Jessie will at least keep working, even if they are no longer contain the latest and greatest security fixes. Any help would be gratefully received.
