I fully agree on that, understand that and am thankful to everybody 
working on Debian project.

I do not know what security issue was used to crack my site - they used 
some Drupal weakness to create some php files in Drupal install dir 
remotely and without getting SFTP access.
I had a look on the state of the drupal6 package just after and noticed 
there are some critical bugfixes not backported to stable branch.
That's all at the very moment.
