Agreed. All the CVE entries that I am aware of are in there.
Unfortunately CVE destribtions for kernel bugs are vauge, and it is
often very difficult to determine which bug goes with which CVE and
which patch.  Any contributions in this area are more than welcome.
Just drop a a mail to debian-kernel and CC me.

I think the best way would be to get the source into volatile
and then prod the other achitecture maintainers. In the past
this seems to have taken about 2 weeks. But I am happy to put them
somewhere else first if you think that is a good idea.
