Please ensure an RC bug is open when DSA fixes are missing in testing/unstable
Many DSA's contain "For the unstable (sid) and testing (wheezy)
distribution, this problem will be fixed soon."
When there is an unfixed version in testing and/or unstable, please
ensure an RC bug is open. Otherwise there is the possibility that
a new Debian release might ship with vulnerabilities that were fixed
through a DSA in a previous Debian release.
This is not only a theoretical problem since it sometimes takes months
after a DSA until a fix is available in unstable.
Thanks in advance
Adrian
