Fair enough, I'll give it a second look and take care of it
myself. Thanks for your feedback.

It declares the RSS feed, supposedly generated by your patch :), as one
of the feeds associated to the main page of www.debian.org. That enables
users who tell their application to subscribe to "the feed of www.d.o"
(without specifying the URL of a precise feed) to choose the feed they
want, among the available once. Currently, only security feeds are
declared, so one won't get a chance to subscribe to the feed you
prepared, unless she know its URL by heart.

Cheers.
