Just as a point of reference, you can use the debsecan package (or
the security-tracker site [0]) right now to determine whether various
package versions are affected or not.

A feature that I would like to see is a clear machine-parsable
delineation between CVEs that affect stable vs oldstable vs testing vs
unstable. Right now, manual text has to be written to convey this info,
making it impossible automatically parse the advisory for this.

Best wishes,
Mike
