It can happen (and has happened in the past). Personally I don't care,
we've always said that unstable is not going to be secure and it never
will be.

I disagree, the maintainer can easily upload a new package to unstable
after a security advisory has been released. No need to complicate the
dak system even more.

They'll probably get rejected since it does not make any sense to upload
security fixes to testing if it isn't frozen. Security fixes need to be
tested just like other packages and will have to go through unstable.
