If it was easily fixable I would have done that instead, but the problem
is that dsa2list entirely depends on being able to download the .dsc. That
is no longer listed in the advisory text due to DAK changes necessary for
squeeze security support.
As the advisory format is in flux for the upcoming time I don't think it's
useful now to invest in a dsa2list rewrite, but rather await what we
finally conclude to be the new format.

Yes, the DSA's will be added as they used to be in the past: by hand. If
one still isn't present after a while feel free to alert us.
