Direi che questo taglia la testa al toro (Michael Stone e' membro del

The security team has nothing to do with sid packages. If a fix is ready
when the advisory goes out the security team may add the sid information
as a curtesy, but the lack of a sid package will in no way delay the
advisory.
>Are the fixes *always* be applied to sid packages and then backported ?
That never happens, the security HOWTO should rephrase that. I imagine
that the intent is to say that sid may have a new version installed to
fix a problem, but stable will get a backported patch.
