My primary concern is helping Moritz and the security team.
Would stable and oldstable be extra uploads? Can you do those?

Yeah, I think I used it in the past.

That's not the same page Moritz sent me to. But I can take a peek.
But first things first: Let's get us jessie-security right. Anything but
the version label I need to change?

Sure.
I will also need to update a Docker container as my pbuilder already bailed
when trying the jessie package.

Moritz or anybody else from security: what else is left to do?
