I wrote "most" users, that's probably not all. Also, I am actively
working on backporting security fixes by myself. Swift for example, has
just been accepted to proposed-updates today. Glance will follow (I just
need to make sure that I understood well that Julien gave his go-ahead:
the package is ready). Next up is Nova.
If there was something deserving a DSA, I would try to make the update
ASAP as well.
I did a poor with security support for Wheezy, I hope I'll do better for
Jessie. So far so good.
Cheers,
