To both.
* about "Oldstable updates.." this syntax has been used only since 2008 and 10 times.
* about "updates for $arch when .. available", does this mean you
will release a new DSA ?
Given the current workflow, a new DSA is required to get the links to
new .deb added to the DSA page.
Otherwise, we need to rework the way are displayed to users and make it
work with the security-tracker ?
