| If yes, please follow the workflow we have defined here:
| https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Development

| If you don't want to take care of this update, it's not a problem, we

I can probably help as I was / am already in contact with Moritz from the
security team.
(But I was also traveling for a family matter and had the misfortune of
seeing my server go off-grid. Back now.)
