Dear Maintainer,

Now that binutils has limited security support, please elaborate on its
status.  Suggested patch (against current git):

 #    In the program's output, this is prefixed with "Details:"
 
 adns            Stub resolver that should only be used with trusted recursors
-binutils        Not covered by security support
+binutils        Only suitable for trusted content; see https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/87lfqsomtg.fsf@mid.deneb.enyo.de

@Florian That linked message is yours; any objections from you?

Thanks,

Daniel

P.S. Priority "important" since binutils' rdeps include dpkg-dev, gcc,
and clang, so I assume this is quite visible.
