I am indeed talking about the layout of the source packages in
oldstable and stable.  I don't want to explain in detail because I
can't put forward my opinion of what I found without violating the
mailing list code of conduct.  (And, as people are pointing out,
because it's fixed in unstable/testing.)

As I say, it led to me more greatly appreciate the hard work done (and
pain suffered) on all our behalf by the stable and LTS security teams.
