This particular package looks like it never made it into a point release at all, not just the CDs. In the current lenny Packages.gz file for i386, I see: Package: openjdk-6-jre Priority: extra Section: interpreters Installed-Size: 656 Maintainer: OpenJDK Team <[email protected]> Architecture: i386 Source: openjdk-6 Version: 6b11-9.1 ... Similar thing for vlc and squid, from a quick check, It's worth asking the stable release manager(s) or the security team why these updates have not made it into the lenny point releases.
