It's good to see a warning there, this is really the minimum in such a case. It would be good to see kfreebsd-6 in the archive if it addresses those security issues so please go ahead and upload it. It would be also possible to fix all the remaining bugs but that looks like a fair amount of work compared to the -6 upload. Please mention the CVE ids which are fixed in your changelog to let us track them easier and add this version in the security tracker.
