Alternatively
- the stable report-bug could offer to cc: the lts team on
issues if filed against the corresponding release and version
is a security update version (same for stable if wanted)
- query UDD (blend script does something like that, Andreas Tille
wrote it, see
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/blends/website.git/tree/webtools/bugs.py)
both ways seem worth exploring.
I intend to submit a patch for reportbug to implement the first part of this idea. It basically asks an additional question before the question about bccing multiple e-mail addresses but only if the reported regression is against a package with a version number containing +deb7u1. I am not completely sure if the maintainer of reportbug will approve this but we can discuss this in the bug report later.
I could also implement a similar feature for stable releases. So if the security likes to be informed about regression like that, please let me know.
