This is not only about the currently open issues, but about having the security
history of a package in an overview next to the other package characteristics.
I would suggest to place it in the "Other links" section.

E.g. the link http://idssi.enyo.de/tracker/source-package/lynx would
list all security issues, which have been fixed during the recent years.

But the other solution outlined by Florian would also be interesting.
