We are waiting on James Troup to activate amd64 on the security
servers. The buildd is otherwise setup and running.

For the time being all security builds are uploaded to
sarge-proposed-updates on amd64.debian.net and people should add that
to the sources.list for now and just till sec.d.o gets reconfigured
for us.
