The 'oldstable' distribution as referenced in
http://security.debian.org/dists/ is also the old stable :-)
As a DSA translator, we translate it as "the old stable distribution"
with words separated.
Security team, is there a single DSA template, so that it can be translated
once to ease the translation ?
On top of this :
~/debian/webwml/english/security$ rgrep "oldstable" * | wc -l
40
~/debian/webwml/english/security$ rgrep "old stable" * | wc -l
515
