Dear Diederik,

New code fixes old bugs, but introduces new ones. Then Debian comes in and, at some point, applies a small portion of those fixes to old code.

My problem is that debian.org/security is not telling you that. People read the page and get the mistaken impression that all of Debian's packages (even Chromium) get all security-relevant fixes in a timely manner.
