In general you can install the package debian-security-support and then 
run the command check-support-status to get a report on limitations of 
security support for certain installed packages. I am not sure how 
complete this list is… but I found this to be helpful to have an idea 
about the security status of some applications. And the package itself is 
maintained by the security team. You need to check their dependencies 
manually sometimes, as the information the check program delivers often 
enough is related to libraries.

It also hooks into apt and notifies you automatically for future updates 
and package installations.

In addition there are a host of other nice tools like debsecan, apticron 
and needrestart. Just to inform you about some of the nice stuff we have 
in Debian :)

Best,
