There is an on-going confusion in the wider Debian community about whether
squeeze is still supported or EOL.
The squeeze-lts work does not cover all of squeeze -- there are significant
limitations in the packages and archs covered. It would be inappropriate to
indicate to users that other archs were supported by saying that squeeze is
still a supported release.
>From the very first line of the wiki page you linked to:
LTS (Long Term Support) is a project for providing security
patches after oldstable reached its end of life.
which would agree with distro-info-data in stating that squeeze is EOL.
As much as squeeze-lts is a great initiative, it's not true to say that
squeeze is still a supported release. I guess that makes it EOL and it wants
an EOL date that reflects when that change happened: 2014-05-31
