Thanks for proving me wrong. I was unaware of testing's security
repositories.
Searching the archives, I found what triggered me wrong:
<quote> [1]
Security support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Final preparations for security support will be done during the general
freeze, that is now. We hope being able to announce start of security
support soon, but obviously, it is a pre-condition for release.

There are also good news. One of them is that the security team told us
that we now have security support for Etch (and also that Etch has been
in a good status for some time now regarding security).
</quote>
Is there something unofficial about http://secure-testing.debian.net ?
Why is our release manager announcing the 'start of security support
soon', if it already has been in place for years?
Thanks for enlightening me about that!
Johannes,
long-time and happy user of testing/etch 8-)
