Why the hell do you think this should not be an official part of debian?

Debian does not provide you with credibility, though. I doubt a lot
people would say: "Oh, that Michael Banck dude is doing sec-updates for
testing now. Although he's german, working on the hurd port, busy with
university and not actually running testing, I'm going to put his
APT-line in all of the 200 desktop machines running testing at our
company without thinking twice whether he can really live up to
expectations. Oh, it's not an official debian site. Well, I'm not
getting suspicious of *that* tiny bit"

If providing reliable testing security could be provided in the time
I've spend on this thread, it have would already be done by the current
