JFYI, this won't help. Since wheezy lts uses security.d.o and minit
is not know there, a sourceful upload will be needed to be done
instead of a binNMU. This means the version will be something like
0.10-5+deb7u1. But speaking of minit: Should minit possibly be removed
from Jessie as well on the next point release? The same reasons which
lead to the removal from unstable in #804367 would apply here as well:
