Question and proposed change for lts-cve-triage.py



Hi all

When doing triaging this week as part of the front desk assignment I
realized that the lts-cve-triage.py script outputs the following
section "Other issues to triage for stretch (not yet triaged for
buster)" after "Issues postponed for stretch, but fixed in buster via
DSA or point releases".

I think people before me have missed to help with that triaging
because that list of packages to check is long. At least it is easy to
miss it.

Now to the question. Do we generally wait for the Debian Security team
to do their analysis before LTS do it? If that is the case, the
current list makes sense. If not I think my proposed change should be
done.

I have done a change so that "Issues postponed for stretch, but fixed
in buster via DSA or point releases" is much further down in the list
because it is generally not so important for triaging work, compared
to the other ones.

Any objections? If not, I'll commit the change tomorrow.

Here is the diff.
