Thanks Sylvain for the heads-up.

Agreed. I suggest to mark all CVE for unbound in Stretch as end-of-life. This
was already announced in May 2020 and we shouldn't change that retrospectively.
The introduction of a new source package unbound1.9 was an exception due to a
special request. In my opinion we should add unbound1.9 to dla-needed.txt and
investigate which one of the current open CVE affect this version. I can take a
look at it since I was responsible for the unbound1.9 upload anyway.

+1
