  Isn't it possible to fix these vulnerabilities through a DSA or in the
  first point release? Or alternatively remove the binary package in the
  first point release?
 
 Steffen, what are your plans regarding this (now kind of old)
 RM request?

We have done a real lot on the boinc-server-maker package - 7.0.27 should
not be anywhere in stable. I would happily see the binary removed. Who do
I do this? Through reportbug?

Is there also a way to get recent BOINC clients into a point release, possibly?

Many thanks

Steffen

My understanding is that it requires a stable proposed update, with
a debdiff that stops building the binary package you want to
see removed.

 release, possibly?

Possibly. See Suite update policy on https://release.debian.org/.
You'll want to file a stable pu bug with reportbug, attaching
a debdiff, making it clear what important bugs it fixes, making sure
not to include unrelated changes, and making sure the bugs are fixed
in testing/sid already. Any not-too-crazy debdiff that satisfies these
basic requirements is usually at least considered.

Cheers,
