Basically I used to use a script to get the packages that debsecan gave as having security issues and give them to aptitude so they could be selectively updated. I am unable to do this now due to it not specifying if the package is of a foreign arch' when using multiarch. I guess this could be seen as a wishlist request on second thought but I wonder how multiple packages that have the same name but different arch on multiarch would be listed anyway, I haven't had time to check.
