Control: retitle -1 debsecan: confused if a newer version as in 
$codename-security is accepted via $codename-updates

Hi

I think the issue arises when the following situation is given:

Package has recieved an update via security: Version 1.2-3+debXuY

Via $codename-updates before a point release, and if a user has
$codename-updates in sources.list, there is an update for the package,
1.2-3+debXuZ, with 1.2-3+debXuZ > 1.2-3+debXuY but 1.2-3+debXuZ is
not in $codename yet, and only available via $codename-updates.

Recently for the point release on 2017-12-09 this happened e.g. for
bind9, which got an updates 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3+deb9u2 via
stretch-security, but before the point release an update
1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3+deb9u3 was accepted via stretch-updates for the
DNSSEC KSK-2017 update.

Regards,
Salvatore
