Sorry to disappoint you, but until Sarge is released as "stable", it is
not supported by the security team either, just like unstable. You
might even be better of by using backports of packages from unstable,
because if the kernel is fixed by the maintainer or kernel.org, the
packages goes first to unstable, and then after a while to testing.
Stable is the only Debian version with official support by the security
team.
