    A limited subset of packages!  This should be documented at least
    here: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

    Because there is no documentation of the supported subset of LTS nor
    a list of actually maintained packages.  So, the impression is, that
    all packages are maintained.
    
    But this should also an issue for Debian 7, isn't it?  Packages that
    receive no security updates should be marked in some way within the
    repository, i.e. like broken packages within Aptitude are in red
    color.
