as Moritz mentioned, the security team is indeed currently supporting testing (via unstable updates that automatically transition). it is an inefficient use of the security team's time to prepare updates for testing when they will shortly get overwritten by fixes transitioning from unstable. this justification is obviously incorrect once testing is frozen, and, as Moritz stated, direct testing security support will begin then. however, if there is an interest in direct support for testing in the meantime, volunteers who are willing to spend their own time are very welcome to do so. in fact, the security team is very welcoming of any and all volunteers who would like to help in any area [0]. mike [0] http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/secure-testing/doc/narrative_introduction -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
