For the benefit of those who weren't following on IRC last night, we
went with:
<p>After this point release, Debian's Security and Release Teams will
no longer be producing updates for Debian 8. Users wishing to continue
to receive security support should upgrade to Debian 9, or see <url "ht

architectures and packages covered by the Long Term Support project.
