Apologies. It's been a while since I uploaded to s-p-u.

I went with the version number generated by dch's --security option,
since it doesn't have an option to generate an s-p-u version and
security seemed logically closest. Happy to re-upload with something
else if it matters.

Yes, although it's not clear how much longer the servers will continue
to answer queries at all. At some point, the servers will shut down and
queries will time out.

If upstream was still publishing njabl rules, then the ones received via
sa-update would have priority over the ones from the package.  However,
it looks like they've already published updated rules via the sa-update
channels, so people using sa-update will not require a package update.
sa-update is not enabled by default, since we don't want to assume that
users are OK with their hosts getting reconfigured underneath them, but
it is recommended that people run it.
