Bug#1010559: Security updates don't need to have urgency=high



Package: developers-reference
Version: 11.0.21
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello,

in this thread[1] it turned out that security updates don't need to have
urgency=high, so I'm attaching a patch that removes the mention.

Thanks,

Enrico
