Typically until the next release plus six months or so. It depends
entirely on how long the security team are willing to support it; nearly
six months after the release of Debian 3.0, support for Debian 2.2 is
still continuing and there's been no announcement of its cessation. This
is largely due to the major upgrade of the security build system that
held up the release of 3.0.

Cheers,
