I'm still leaning toward simply having the security pages link the relevant
page in the Packages section of the web site and deal with linking packages
in proposed-updates directory there. Only security updates are supposed to make
it into that directory so there should be no problem using packages from
there.
The only problem with the Package section of the web site is it is still
i386 specific. :(
BTW, Michael, you haven't gotten back to me with any other common phrases that
may be used in the security pages that should have translations. Does that
mean you are happy with the list I posted?
