I have filed a bugreport regarding this (1).

In a nutshell, the secdeb remap rule is missing the "directory spec".
Adding the directory spec ('/debian-security') wright before the first
semicolon (';') fixes the issue, so the secdeb line should look like:

Remap-secdeb: security.debian.org /debian-security ; security.debian.org
deb.debian.org/debian-security

Thanks to anyone who has chimed in.
