Why the bloody hell not?

Sorry, this makes me angry. Debian does a whole lot on finding these
holes, then spreading the information they are there, but then every one
has to read at least debian-user or visit the security page on the web to
find out. We have such a great distribution system and make no use of it.

A pity, really.

But thanks for the information.
