There was already discussion on what things you should do to verify advisories on this same list. Probably, regarding the security team work, you might want to check out the thread started by: http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2004/07/msg00032.html General guidelines for helping out (oriented towards developers) are available at: http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-bug-security As for what tasks do the security team need help for maybe it's worth revisiting this posts: http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2001/09/msg00225.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2001/09/msg00299.html I understand that there is not at the moment a detailed document we can point you related to the work that the security team does or what specific steps can user take to help improve security in Debian. I will try to help out and publish a writeup at the web site soon. Regards Javier
