Given (if) it is specific to things fixed in previous LTS (now ELTS)
to LTS, please keep it outside the security-tracker and use it instead
in a (E)LTS specific repository.

Alternatively if it's parametrised as such that by can cover the
regular supported suites by default (not from "external" ELTS -> LTS)
and report problems from (currently stretch -> buster), and e.g. by an
--lts parameter and a URI from jessie -> stretch -- then I guess we
can discuss indeed having it in the security-tracker bin. But in
general the rule would be not ELTS dependencies in the
security-tracker itself.
