 Why didn't you just use the Ubuntu script to automatically fill it
 out?

Because
 
it would need considerable mental resources to get it working
on Debian. Also a lot python source editing would be required.

You might think it autodetects security features. It doesn't. Example
code:

add_status('kexec', 'trusty', 'sysctl', AVAILABLE)

So instead of asking people to edit the wiki, to autogenerate that
page, we would have to ask people to send patches for a python script.

That script may be suitable for an employee having the task to keep
that wiki page updated (Ubuntu). For a more volunteer like approach
(Debian), I think just writing the wiki page is better.
