I was aware that an update had been made to debian-security-support but
I was not aware of the timing for a future release. That information is
helpful to me.

Given that there is a definite plan in place, I am less concerned about
dropping it from dla-needed.txt. It might not hurt leave it there with

as it gets removed sometime after the advisory is released, that should
be fine.
