Dear Debian maintainer, On Saturday, May 17, 2014, I notified you of the beginning of a review process concerning debconf templates for debian-security-support. The debian-l10n-english contributors have now reviewed these templates, and the final proposed changes are attached to this update to the original bug report. Please review the suggested changes, and if you have any objections, let me know in the next 3 days. However, please try to avoid uploading debian-security-support with these changes right now. The second phase of this process will begin on Sunday, June 08, 2014, when I will coordinate updates to translations of debconf templates. The existing translators will be notified of the changes: they will receive an updated PO file for their language. Simultaneously, a general call for new translations will be sent to the debian-i18n mailing list. Both these calls for translations will request updates to be sent as individual bug reports. That will probably trigger a lot of bug reports against your package, but these should be easier to deal with. The call for translation updates and new translations will run until about Sunday, June 29, 2014. Please avoid uploading a package with fixed or changed debconf templates and/or translation updates in the meantime. Of course, other changes are safe. Please note that this is an approximative delay, which depends on my own availability to process this work and is influenced by the fact that I simultaneously work on many packages. Around Monday, June 30, 2014, I will contact you again and will send a final patch summarizing all the updates (changes to debconf templates, updates to debconf translations and new debconf translations). Again, thanks for your attention and cooperation. --

For some Debian packages, it is not feasible to maintain full security
support for all use cases through the full distribution release
cycle.

This package provides a program to identify installed packages for
which support has had to be limited or prematurely ended, and to
alert the administrator.

New versions of this package with updated checklists will be provided
via standard and/or extended security support.
