That's really nice to know, Ben.

Heh, thanks. One newer release is enough, I think. Until the
next release, it may be the case that I have already upgraded
to 10.2. Or maybe not. :-)

Nice that I'm not alone with the idea of supplying security
updates for packages for the stable distribution. :-)

I was thinking of something more automated, so the developers
aren't stressed, but in special cases, even a manual update is
very much welcome (especially for those limited in memory).
Since you're quite open to dialog, I would like to express
that I miss other things from Debian (I've been using Debian
since version 1.1).
One of the things that I miss from Debian is the menu
management system (i.e., the package "menu"), which
automatically updates the entries in the menus of the window
managers (it works really well with Window Maker -- that's the
window manager that I use the most). This makes it quite
easier to make a multi-user system being consistent.
Thanks for your kind answer, Roger...
